Launched to a ‘Mayday’ investigation
Aberystwyth Lifeboat was launched to a ‘Mayday’ investigation after the Coastguard received reports of a ‘Mayday’ radio broadcast.
The lifeboat searched between Clarach and Tan-Y-Bwlch beach, nothing was found. It was thought that the ‘Mayday’ radio broadcast was a hoax.
