LAMPLIGHTER INJURED Walmer, Kent. At 10 a.m. on 28th January, 1964, as the life-boat was about to proceed on exercise with the district engineer, a radio message was intercepted from the South Goodwin lightvessel to Deal coastguard stating that a lamplighter was injured on the lightvessel. When told, the honorary secretary offered to extend the exercise to South Goodwin and bring the man ashore. There was a gentle westerly breeze with a smooth sea and it was almost high water. The life-boat Charles Dibdin (Civil Service No. 32) left at 10.10. The lamplighter, who had fallen down the inside of the lamp mast, was taken by the life-boat to Walmer where he was carried to hospital by ambulance. The life-boat arrived back at her station at 11.52..
