Yesterday morning (Sunday) a multi agency incident to search for a missing lady from Wareham resulted in a successful coordinated effort in locating her in very difficult terrain.
The NPAS aircraft crew located the lady in a Reed bed landed and directed rescue teams to the location.
Dorset Police, South Western Ambulance , DorSAR, Coastguard teams from Kimmeridge and Swanage, Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance, RNLI Poole worked together to successfully extract the lady from where she was found to the air Ambulance.
Having been called at 09.25 the team returned to Swanage but were soon out again to a vessel aground at Studland beach. Thankfully on arrival everyone was confirmed safe and the vessel had been refloated.
Three incidents at Old Harry then started when the patrols located people in very dangerous locations and despite warnings put themselves and others in danger.
One of the incidents at Old Harry yesterday, involved the person thinking they were able to get to the beach. A similar incident a short time later saw the whole team requested along with colleagues from St Albans Coastguard tasked to set up rope equipment as again the person was in a dangerous positions and could have fallen or got stuck.
A further medical incident supporting the RNLI and ambulance , a bbq in a sensitive area , six people escorted from Tilly Whim caves , a further abandon vessel on Studland beach and concern for a kayaker saw the team finally return to station at 20.25 - eleven hours after the first call.
