Red flare sparks search

 

Solent Coastguard tasked the team this afternoon just after 2pm after receiving a report of a red flare off Old Harry. 

The Swanage team deployed to key locations from Swanage to Studland checking the area for someone in distress , this included  Old Harry, Peveril Point, Swanage Bay, Knoll beach and the Chain Ferry. 

With vessels and NCI also checking the area a report of two kayakers in the area was checked but these were confirmed entering the harbour entrance safely. With nothing further located and no further information the team were returned to station to clean and sanitise the equipment.
