Filey RNLI's new lifeboat receives first call-out
Filey RNLI's new Atlantic 85 lifeboat was launched for its first call-out last night.
The lifeboat was launched at about 7.30pm (July 1) last night to assist in a mutli-agency search for a missing person.
The boat's crew of four returned after the missing person was found close to Cayton Bay by coastguard teams.

In April, Filey bid farewell to its resident all-weather lifeboat after 350 missions - and it has now been replaced.
