An impressive and rare sight captured on camera by Gareth Davies Photography. Tenby’s all-weather lifeboat launched after-dark on one of their bi-weekly exercises for a training session with coastguard helicopter 187 from St. Athan on Wednesday evening.

“We always jump at the chance for a helicopter exercise as they are few and far between these days and it’s a great opportunity to practice our casualty transfer skills in preparation for the next time we have to work with the helicopter for real,” said Ben James, crew member and lifeboat press officer.
