Throughout the night we had a mobile unit and crew assisting in various search areas such as woodland and farm land etc.
At 06.00am which was first light the inshore rescue boat was re launched to do a search at the low tide mark,while a short time later crews were on the way to check a area of interest we received a update the missing persons was located safe and well.
Crews were stood down returning to base to wash,restage and fuel the equipment.
