Search for missing pair lasts 16 hours
Lifeboat crews from Peel and Ramsey have notched-up one of their longest-ever spells at sea.
Volunteers were called out in the early hours of Sunday (7 May) to join an Irish Sea search for two men, who had failed to return to Port Logan in southern Scotland the previous evening.
Crews from Scotland and Northern Ireland were among 10 teams who searched for the pair, for 16 hours.
Two bodies, thought to be of the missing men, were recovered off the Mull of Galloway early today (8 May).
It's thought they got into difficulties during a leisure trip in a speedboat - a police investigation is underway.
Spokesman for Peel lifeboat crew Mal Kelly says the rescue effort was a major logistical exercise:
Disruption at Ronaldsway airport following incident with light aircraft
Hopes for better working relationship between government and hospitality sector
'A lot of work to do' on low income housing
Public servants killed in the line of duty eligible for new award
Multi-million pound Villiers development recommended for approval
Rosalind Ranson row draws to a close
