Sunday, May 26, 1974: North Berwick ILB Blue Peter III took medical assistance to a boy who had fallen over the cliff in a bay which could only be reached from seaward. The boy was found to be too badly injured to be taken off by sea, and helicopter assistance was requested.

Medical equipment was brought by HM Coastguard and lowered down the cliff: an RAT helicopter arrived bringing two doctors, lifted the casualty and flew him to Edinburgh Hospital while the ILB took helpers and equipment back to base. ILB crew: J. G.

Thornburn, J. Dixon and J.

Pearson.
