Also noted that SAR boyz from Leconfield and Valley attended, despite Boulmer being the nearest, and there must be a reason, cause Valley to Morcambe Bay is hardly a quick response scenario. Not wishing to detract from what must have been an unpleasant job, especially during the festive season.

Condolances to friends and family that may frequent these pages. Lets hope that although this is a civilian incident, any lessons learnt are passed on to the military.
Perhaps out of respect to those friends and family, you could keep your clueless speculation to yourself, you ignorant c0ck.

And while you're at it, be a love and update your map of the UK, as if it tells you that Boulmer's closest, it probably also says 'here be dragons' on it somewhere.

Kn0b.
