Ramsey, Isle of Man. At 4.1 on the afternoon of the 28th August, 1961, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the Royal Air Force launch No. 1653 had broken down off Jurby Head. At 4.15 the life-boat Thomas Corbett was launched in a moderate south-westerly gale and a rough sea. It was two hours before low water. The life-boat found the launch with her pump broken down and her wheelhouse windscreen broken. She escorted the launch into Ramsey bay and reached her station at six o'clock.
