The British Coastal Archive contains material gathered over many years showing real rescues and maritime events. Thanks to all the MCA Coastguard rescue helicopters and tugs being equipped with video cameras, images such as these become available almost daily. Scenes from this archive have been used in news items, TV programmes, training and even Hollywood movies!
