Swanage and Poole RNLI volunteers
Filmed last year, this forthcoming episode sees Swanage and Poole RNLI volunteers teaming up in one of the largest searches carried out by the RNLI.
Dave Turnbull, Swanage Lifeboat Coxswain, Dave Turnball said:
“In this episode you’ll see how a number of volunteers across eight lifeboats from six lifeboat stations worked together in an incident off the Dorset coast. When the call comes in and you go to sea you are one team giving it your all.”
