Update from RNLI Blackpool
Our RNLI volunteers were called out at 17:50 this evening to reports of two teenagers in difficulty in the sea at Central Pier. The D-Class inshore lifeboat was just about to launch, when members of the public managed to get the two back the safety of the beach. The lifeboat crew assisted in medical care with assistance from North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
Both inshore lifeboats launched after dealing with the teenagers to search the area around Central pier to establish there was no one else in difficulty.

Great vid pal. Wish I’d got this.

One landed on the Moor near my flats in Newcastle today. I did not go down to film it just in case someone was being airlifted to hospital. It did a forward take off skimming the tops of the grass as it gained height.
