The volunteer crew members of the R N L I Beaumaris lifeboat received a launch request at 6.23 pm on Saturday 22 June 2019 from the U.K Coastguard, to assist a boat with engine failure located off Dinas Dinlle by Caernarfon airfield.
The Beaumaris lifeboat Annette Mary Liddington launched at 6.30 pm and proceeded at a speed consistent with public safety to the vessel.

The lifeboat was then released from service by the U.K. Coastguard and returned to the lifeboat station at Beaumaris arriving at 8.30 pm being recovered, refuelled and prepared for her next service which came at 1.40 am next morning followed by a further service launch at 8.08 that evening.
