At approximately 0900 on the 5th of February 2013 Holyhead Coastguard issued a full team call out to rescue a person found by SARDA Wales who were searching for 49 year old Stephen Masters from the Wirral.
We arrived on scene and set up our cliff rescue equipment after requesting support from Penmon Coastguard. Also En Route were Rescue 122 from RAF Valley on Anglesey.
Rescue 122 Arrived on scene and conducted a risk assesment. Based on this they winched the casualty up into the aircraft. This was the safest method of recovery.
The Casualty was winched into Search And Rescue Helicopter 122 and taken to Ysbyty Gwynedd, Bangor but unfortunately he was deceased and was later named as Missing Wirral man, 49 year old Stephen Masters.
Our thoughts are with the family and friends at this difficult time.
