At 14:35 this afternoon Holyhead Coastguard received multiple 999 calls reporting a flare sighting in the Rhos on Sea/Colwyn Bay area.
Holyhead Coastguard tasked Llandudno RNLI Inshore lifeboat, an RAF Sea king, Rescue 122 from RAF Valley and ourselves to the scene to locate the source of the sighting.
The Inshore Lifeboat launched from Colwyn Bay slipway and the crew soon located a small dinghy with one man on board suffering an Angina attack. The man had lost his relieving GTN Spray overboard.
He was immediately placed on the Lifeboat and was taken at full speed to shore. The Lifeboat landed ashore with the casualty at the same time Rescue 122 arrived on scene. The RAF winchman, who is a Paramedic, was landed and proceeded to stabilise the casualty. The Helicopter returned a short while later and landed on the beach to take the casualty on board and onto hospital.
