2018 - Looking Back - December

Training continued in the form of the Christmas Quiz - a light hearted way of reviewing the year's learning and checking what we know, as well as a few random questions and mystery photos!

Quiz Champions!

Seven incidents (so far) in December, the highest profile of which was a rather large piece of ordnance found on the beach in Studland and promptly disposed of by the Navy EOD team.

BANG!!

We were also tasked to a search last night (Thursday 27 December) which also involved St Albans Coastguard, Police and the NPAS police helicopter, possibly our last incident of 2018?

With three days to go, we stand at 151 incidents for the year, which represents our second busiest year ever, and our busiest since 2010.

That brings to an end our review of the Coastguard Year, and we hope it has been of interest.  We are on call 24/7, and if you'd like to follow us we have both a Facebook Page "Swanage Coastguard" and our blog which are both regularly updated - Click on the banner at the top to get the link.
