Any one remember tis

That's a great video Paul.
I knew about the rescue they've been talking about it this last week on radio Newcastle and at the weekend they celebrated it's anniversary.
What a monumental effort by all those involved and a great piece of history for the people of South Shields.

(Nice to see Stephanie Powers getting in on the act at the end there at 6:50 Ha Ha!)
