Falklands bound ship comes to rescue of yachtsman off Plymouth

A 45 year old man had to be evacuated from a yacht off Rame Head last night after suffering a suspected seizure.

A distress call came to Brixham coastguard at around 6.30.

HMS Dauntless was in the area on her way to a deployment in the Falklands and sent medical assistance.

The man was airlifted to hospital.

Dauntless left Portsmouth a couple of days ago and is believed to be carrying out exercises off Plymouth.
