I knew nothing of this. I would have thought the 'Old Bill' would have contacted me to turn out with my Launch to help search after all they no longer have suitable craft themselves.

Police as a rule don't start asking members of the public to lend them their boats to search for someone who may or may not be in the river.

Certainly not down our end anyway.

Over the past fifty years I have been asked by the Police to assist on many occasions.

Any update on this.
Locally a young man was reported as going into the river last week near Rochester Road bridge, nothing was found by several local boats pressed into action by police or a helicopter.
No one reported missing either.
