Aberdeen: On Sunday May 29 Aberdeen's D class inflatable lifeboat, manned by Helmsman Stuart Durno and Crew Members James Ferguson and Allan Charles, launched to the aid of a youth stranded on cliffs inaccessible from the land. When the lifeboat arrived, firemen lowered the boy from the pinnacle of a rock to its base, from where Crew Member Charles, having swum about five yards through swell to the shore, carried him back through shallow waters to the lifeboat (above). The boy was landed on the other side of the cove, where there was a path (right), and handed over to waiting police and ambulance men; the lifeboat then returned to the rock base to take off two fire- men who had been helping the youth and land them ashore..
