Sad News

Some sad news over night that retired Auxiliary In Charge Ian Surface passed away. Ian was in charge of the Swanage Team for many years up to 1997 during which he was awarded the British Empire Medal.

Our thoughts at this time are with Chris, Christian and Hannah.

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I knew Ian from the start of National Coastwatch, when I was Regional Manager and also ran the St Albans Hd station. Throughout my time with NCI both nationally and locally, Ian was always supportive, forthright and looking at only one goal - keeping people safe around the coasts. I know he'll leave a big gap - he was that type of person.
If you pick this up in time, please drop me a note at sjd@maritime-response.co.uk as I'd love to make it to the funeral, or make a donation to charity - CGA I assume knowing Ian?
Best wishes,
Simon Dennis
