    Date: 04/05/2010

    Author: Tony Hawkins, Volunteer Lifeboat Press Officer

    The volunteer crew of Dover lifeboat were called out on 3 May to a report of a possible missing person in the outer harbour. The alarm was raised after swimming goggles and clothing had been found on the beach.

    At 1445hrs Dover RNLI Lifeboat City of London ll launched in strong north-easterly wind under the command of coxswain Stuart Richardson and six crew. The search area was the outer harbour and just to the west of the harbour walls.

    The lifeboat along with the Dover harbour launch, Dover harbour police boat and the trip boat Southern Queen searched the harbour for two hours. Kent Police helicopter and Coastguards searched the seafront and beaches. At 1700hrs the Coastguards and police confirmed that the clothing had been left on the beach sometime on the Sunday. Therefore at 1715 the search was called off. Coxswain Stuart Richardson would like to thank all the vessels that helped with this search in cold and windy conditions.
