Distress beacon sparks lifeboat callout

Port St Mary RNLI launched its lifeboat in the early hours of this morning after receiving a distress signal. 

Crews were paged just after 1am on Tuesday, November 3, after a personal locator beacon was activated. 

The Trent class relief lifeboat named Frederick Storey Cockburn launched to go to the rescue.

However, after the volunteer crew launched, the call turned out to be a false alarm.
