Walton & Frinton, Essex - At 3.25 p.m. on 3rd July, 1967, it was learnt that a dinghy had capsized a quarter of a mile off Walton pier and that another dinghy was trying to right her. The life-boat Cecil and Lilian Philpott, on temporary duty at the station, slipped her moorings at 3.56 p.m. in a light westerly breeze and choppy sea. It was one hour after low water. The life-boat proceeded to the casualty and emptied her. She was then taken in tow to the shore and handed over to her owner who had been landed by the second dinghy. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 4.35..
