by isleofman.com 16th November 2012

A fire service tractor unit had to be rescued from Derbyhaven Bay this afternoon.


The vehicle was submerged by the incoming tide as it tried to launch a boat from a trailer but got into difficulties.

The ?160,000 unit had to be left for the sea until the tide went out again and crews from the airport could retrieve it.

This man saw the incident happen:
