AN EMERGENCY near Druidston last night (July 15) saw a rescue helicopter being called in, in what was described as a ‘very technical operation’.
HM Coastguard Broad Haven was alerted to a casualty stuck on cliffs south of Druidston yesterday evening (Jul 15) .
Posting on Facebook, the coastguard said: “The team evaluated the terrain and it was decided it was unsuitable to perform a rope rescue so tasked Coastguard Helio 187 to assist.
“Casualty was transported via the helicopter back to the Druidstone hotel and safe and well.
“The winchman described it as one of the most technical rescues they have performed in his 12 years of service.”
The coastguard advises anyone in trouble around the coast to call 999 and ask for the Coastguard.
