TORBAY, Sunday January 12, 1986: a 15-year-old boy had fallen 100 ft down a cliff to the south of Berry Head. A coastguard cliff rescue team had gone to his assistance and Torbay's 54 ft Arun class lifeboat, Edward Bridges, launched so that the boy could be taken to hospital by sea. The boy had broken both his legs in the fall and was suffering from shock. The lifeboat crew used the inflatable " V boat on arrival to transfer the casualty from the bottom of the cliff to the lifeboat where (above) he was hoisted aboard in the lifeboat's basket stretcher. The lifeboat then headed for Torquay harbour where an ambulance was waiting. photograph by courtesy of Torbay News Agency.
