Dover, Kent - At 1.50 p.m. on 8th April, 1970, the life-boat had just returned to her moorings from an earlier service call which had proved fruitless when the coastguard told the honorary secretary that three men were cut off by the tide on the cliffs between Dover and St.

Margaret's bay. The life-boat Faithful Forester put to sea again at 1.51. It was high water. At 2 o'clock, on reaching the supposed position, contact was made with the cliff rescue unit. As the water was broken and too shallow for the life-boat, she launched her Avon inflatable dinghy and rescued the three men at 2.20. The life-boat returned to her moorings at 2.50..
