Lifeboatmen who rescue airmen. Sheringham, Norfolk, lifeboatmen stand by during operational flights over the North Sea to rescue airmen who may drop into the " drink" on their way out or returning. These men hold the record for the number of airmens lives saved from the North Sea - 27 have been rescued. The lifeboat is ready to put to sea at a moments notice, standing by with an alert crew until the all clear is given, and the airmen flying over the sea have landed at their aerodrome.
