You have to remember that the rescues aren't often photographed. The lifeguards, air/sea crew, air ambulance crews, coastguards etc just rush out to do the job.

Sometimes someone might call the press, who might send a togfa but that would be a very low priority at the critical time - so citizen journalists who'd had a camera handy may be the only source of pics there would be available.

Sorry to say the lady rescued off Camber Sands has died. http://www.ryeandbattleobserver.co.u...scue-1-4130634

I sincerely hope the little chap in Cornwall is recovering well.
