A rather unusual day?

The pager went off at 09.08, I phoned in to be told to get the team together and head up to Emmitts Hill at St Albans head, there is a report of a car over the cliff.

This is serious and someones life depends on us.



We arrival on scene and get a briefing from John Bugler the Station Officer from St Albans



Its amazing in an area of outstanding beauty that there has been such an incident.

The team set up on the top, Rescue helicopter 106 is dropping their winchman




16 Coastguard Rescue Officers (from St Albans, Swanage & Kimmeridge)

1 Coastguard Sector Manager

1 Rescue helicopter - 4 crew

3 Police Officers

The male is airlifted to Poole to be met by further Coastguards and the hospital staff.
