Solent Coastguard paged the Hayling RNLI to request that we launch to join the Portsmouth Lifeboat and Police Helicopter in a search at the Eastern end of Hayling Bay following a report of a female dressed in a pink dressing gown possibly entering the water off Beachlands.
The Lifeboat once on scene started a parallel search to the beach. During this search the Police helicopter was stood down by the Police control and the Coastguard helicopter was tasked. After an extensive search of the area and nothing having being found the search was called off and all units returned to their stations. ________________________________________________________________________
