August 1979 saw one of the biggest rescue operations since World War Two when a ferocious storm coincided with the Fastnet Race. Alongside the RNLI, the RAF, Royal Navy, Irish Air Force and other services worked tirelessly to save nearly 100 lives. We dedicate this video to those brave souls, as well as the sailors who never made it home. #RNLI #Fastnet #SearchAndRescue #disaster #storm SUPPORT OUR LIFESAVING WORK – VISIT OUR WEBSITE – FACEBOOK – TWITTER – INSTAGRAM – LINKEDIN - PINTEREST - SNAPCHAT - The RNLI is the charity that saves lives at sea. 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, lifeboat crews around the UK and Ireland are ready to launch to help those in need.
