Dont panic!
Apparently a drunken fisherman fell over the rocks just to the North of take off this evening, resulting in two lifeboats and the Boulmer Sea King arriving.
The BBC have got hold of the wrong end of the stick and are reporting it as a paragliding incident.
Fortunately it is not.
Mike Brown asked me to put this on the forum to put peoples minds at rest, just in case it is on the news.
