This is a different episode for us, but it's one we felt compelled to share.On 19th December 1981 a dramatic rescue played out on the English coast, involving a stricken cargo ship being driven towards a rocky shore by a storm. It's an important story of courage, skill, sacrifice and decisions that ultimately led to tragedy which affected an entire community.Tonight is the anniversary of that incident, and in this episode we pull together the original radio transmissions to tell the story of the crews of the Union Star and the Solomon Browne.Links- BBC documentary on YouTube- BBC Sounds documentary- Penlee: The Loss of a Lifeboat - by Michael Sagar-Fenton
