e.g. D663 and B808 searched for........
28th January D663 was launched to search for a dog that had gone missing near the Dover Patrol Monument. The fear was that the dog had fallen off the cliff. An extensive search along the foot of the cliff was fruitless. Due to the fact that the tide was high, a search out to sea was also performed with the ILB using drift prediction data from the coastguard based at Dover. The Langdon mobile coastguard unit helped search from the cliff top. Unfortunately the dog was not found.
