Flares Spotted!

We were tasked by Solent Coastguard alongside @hm_coastguard_bembridge after a confirmed sighting of a Red Flare in the vicinity of the Sandown Bay Area.

Solent Coastguard tasked SSILB to conduct a parallel search along the Sandown Bay Area with Bembridge Coastguard conducting a shoreline search. With nothing found after the searches, we were stood down and ready for service at 0330.
