Flamborough, Yorkshire - At 7.37 p.m. on 26th March, 1967, news was received that a youth had fallen over the cliff one mile south of Flamborough Head. The life-boat Friendly Forester was launched at 7.45 in a gale force south westerly wind and a choppy sea. The tide was ebbing. On reaching the position it was found that the Bridlington inshore rescue boat had arrived in the meantime. With the help of the Flamborough life-boat crew the youth was taken aboard the inshore rescue boat and was later transferred to the Bridlington life-boat TillieMorrison, Sheffield II. The Flamborough life-boat returned to her station at 9.30..
