Kirkwall lifeboat crew were paged today and placed on Immediate Readiness as an incoming flight to Kirkwall airport had developed some technical problems, the crew mustered and made the lifeboat ready for sea when they were informed by Shetland Coastguard to stand down.

One of our crew who is in Aberdeen, popped by the station there and it was their exercise day, it never ceases to amaze me the RNLI family, Glynn hasn't met these guys before but straight away got an invite in to meet the crew. We're like one big crew. #RNLIFamily

Kirkwall lifeboat this morning alongside the old lifeboat slip in Stronsay, probably the first time in nearly 50 years there has been a lifeboat so close alongside after the Stronsay station was closed in the early seventies.
