Sandown and Shanklin Inshore Lifeboat were tasked by Solent Coastguard to reports from public and a trawler that a red parachute flare was spotted around Steephill Cove and the Ventnor Coastguards were also tasked.
A Search was made from Bonchurch to Woody
point from shore to 1.5 miles out to sea, the Ventnor Coastguards also
covered the cliffs and shore line.
SSILB came across a small fishing vessel that
had spotted it and said it was fired from inshore but was thought by
them to be more on land and directed SSILB to the rough area.
The Ventnor Coastguards then put all there
men in the area and a white parachute flare was fired to light the area
up but nothing was found. It was thought that some one had found this
flare and let it off not realizing the efforts that the rescue crews
will put in, in searching an area.
We would ask any one with old flares please
dispose of them properly.
