Longhope, Orkneys-At 7.44p.m. on ist April, 1966, the coastguard informed the honorary secretary that the m.f.v.

Trust of Stromness was ashore at Haven, Stroma Island, Pentland Firth, and required the assistance of the life-boat. The Longhope life-boat T.G.B. was already afloat, returning from an exercise, and proceeded immediately in a fresh northwesterly wind and a choppy sea. It was one hour before high water. She picked up the crew of three from the m.f.v. Trust, who were safely ashore on the island, at 8.45 and landed them at Longhope.

The life-boat returned to her station at 10.40..
