MRCC Yarmouth asked Hunstanton Coastguard to investigate a person on Scolt Head, about whose welfare there was cause for concern. The lifeboat picked up the casualty and returned him to Brancaster, cold but otherwise unharmed. Police were involved but did not attend.

Hunstanton Coastguard attended a man with an injured knee on the beach near the golf club. The ambulance paramedic requested an air ambulance, so the Coastguard team organised a landing site.

Two boys, aged 6 and 9, were reported missing by the lifeguard station. One Coastguard team searched the promenade on foot, while another team used their vehicle to search the clifftop and nearby roads. The children were found on the promenade, safe and well.

Coastguards were called to locate a dog that had been reported missing by its owner. The dog was quickly found.

Coastguards liaised with the Royal Navy’s Southern Diving Unit 2 to locate a large box-type phosphorus flare that had been reported on the beach. The flare was found at the base of the cliffs and destroyed in a controlled explosion.

A member of the public reported that two groups of people had waded out to sea between Old Hunstanton and Holme, and might have been cut off by the tide. A thorough check by the Coastguard did not reveal anyone in danger.

A dinghy was reported to be drifting near the powerboat ramp. Coastguards spotted the dinghy approximately 500m offshore and guided the lifeboat to the spot. The lifeboat brought the dinghy’s occupant, an 18-year-old man, back to shore. On being checked over by paramedics, the casualty was found to be cold but otherwise healthy. Coastguards then reunited the man with his father.

A member of the public dialled 999 after spotting a kayaker on mudflats near the sailing club. Coastguards attended and guided the hovercraft, which was out on exercise at the time, to the spot. The hovercraft then escorted the kayaker to shore.

Paged by Yarmouth after a missing child was reported by the lifeguard station. By the time the Coastguard team arrived the child had been found safe and well.
