OOL - Ordnance on Land - Liverpool MRCC received a phone call from a member of the public that he had found what he thought was an explosive device on the beach in the Aldingham area. Walney CRT were tasked to the scene, but unfortunately the first informant had left the scene and CRT members found it difficult to find the object.
Liverpool Coastguard called back the first informant for more detail, when received the object was found quite easily and turned out to be a live but wet pyrotechnic.
The object was retrieved and disposed of in the correct manner

Job: 80
PMIS - Person Missing - Walney CRT were tasked to aid S. Lakes  team to help search the shoreline of Lake Windermere from Fell Foot to Newby Bridge and Lake Side to Newby Bridge.

A Yachtsmen was believed to have fallen from his vessel whilst boarding it earlier that day or possibly the previous day.

CG teams searched their tasked areas whilst a Walney Coxswain was placed on a Lake Warden Craft to complete a methodical search from the known datum (the yacht.) Due to failing light CG's proceeded with their search before Mountain Rescue Teams arrived from Duddon, Ambleside and Kendal.

The Coastguard shoreline search was completed as darkness fell and CRT's regrouped at Fell Foot.

Police were advised that Coastguard personnel were standing down and that their advice would be that MRT should do similar.

Shortly after the teams stood down a body was recovered by a police dive team, under the water at the stern of the vessel.
