The volunteer crew at Brighton RNLI faced an eventful evening on Thursday, April 20, with two call outs in just two hours. Phil Jones, the newly qualified helm, had only passed his qualification on Monday, April 17, before being put to the test during the back-to-back emergencies.

Despite a thorough search by the crew, no one was found in the area.
