DUNKIRK MAN At 3.46 p.m. on i5th May, 1966, the honorary secretary was informed that a dinghy was in difficulties on the East Winner. At 3.48 the IRB was launched in a slight south westerly breeze and calm sea. The tide was flooding. The IRB crew found the dinghy swamped and a man in the water. After taking the man on board the crew salvaged the dinghy's gear and engine and then emptied the dinghy and took her in tow. The IRB returned to her station at 4.15 p.m. where the man was given hot soup and dry clothes. The rescued man was one of the troops taken off by Ramsgate life-boat during the evacuation of Dunkirk. He made a donation to the Institution's funds..
