Littlestone-on-Sea, Kent - At 1.40 p.m. on 22nd May, 1966, a crew member informed the honorary secretary that a small pram dinghy was in difficulties three quarters of a mile to seaward. She had dragged her anchor in the wind and tidal conditions and drifted into exposed waters. Her engine had also failed and she was in danger of capsizing. The IRB was launched at 1.41 in a strong south westerly wind and a choppy sea. It was one hour after high water. She took the dinghy Scud in tow and beached her by the IRB station at 2.20 p.m..
