Lifeboat and helicopter work together to rescue three fishermen

The volunteer crew of Beaumaris Lifeboat Station were called out for the second time in a day to respond to a 15ft fishing boat taking in water off Caernarfon Bar. The lifeboat crew assisted the RAF rescue helicopter winch the three crew off the fishing boat who were then taken to hospital. The fishing boat sunk so the lifeboat crew worked with the coastguard on recovering the boat.
