At 6.16am on Monday 2 March 2020, the crew pagers were activated by Belfast Coastguard to assist Police Scotland in a search for a missing person at Prestwick.
The volunteer crew assembled and Trent class all-weather lifeboat ‘RNLB Jim Moffat’ was then launched to join the search. Also searching were Police Officers and members of the Ayr and Ardrossan Coastguard Rescue Teams.
With no sign of the missing person at first light, the search teams were joined by the Coastguard Search and Rescue Helicopter from Prestwick, Rescue 199 and Troon D Class inshore lifeboat 'Sheena'.
The search continued both ashore and at sea until at 930am the lifeboats were stood down by Belfast Coastguard with nothing found.
While the Coastguard teams continued searching ashore, the lifeboats returned to Troon where they were made ‘Ready for Service’ with assistance of the shore crew.
Later Police Scotland confirmed that the missing person had been traced safe and well ashore.
