The drone-captured footage shows the ‘Enid Collett’ lifeboat speeding down the station slipway and out to sea earlier this month.

One of two vessels at Shoreham Lifeboat Station, the boat has a top speed of over 25 knots and can reach a casualty in the water up to twice as quickly as its predecessor.
