Anstruther RNLI volunteer rescues his dad
An RNLI lifeboat volunteer was given a surprise this week, when he rescued a familiar face.
The Anstruther Lifeboat crew were called out on Saturday morning to a small vessel with a fouled propeller.
Volunteer George Hodge had just finished a night shift when he was awoken by the sound of his pager.

The D class launched within 10 minutes and proceeded to the scene, where George joined his dad aboard the boat and assisted him back to Anstruther harbour.
