Aberdovey, Merionethshire. At 9.15 p.m. on 9th October, 1965, the police reported that three wildfowlers were stranded on the south bank of the estuary.

At 9.30 the IRB launched on an ebbing tide in a south easterly gale and a rough sea. She went to the south side of the estuary and took aboard a man who gave the position of the stranded wildfowlers.

On reaching the spot he helped the crew to get the three wildfowlers and their dog on board. They were taken ashore to a waiting ambulance. The crew decided in view of the weather conditions to leave the IRB on the south side of the estuary.

They returned to Aberdovey by car. The IRB was returned to her station the next day..
