On 26 September, Adrian Willyson Brask, a much-valued member of the Norweigian Society for Sea Rescue (RS), made the ultimate sacrifice during a rescue operation.
His loss is felt deeply by the global search & rescue community, and we stand united with our colleagues at RS in mourning him. Adrian’s death is a sobering reminder of the inherent risks faced by those who dedicate their lives to saving others.
As a mark of respect to our friends at RS, our RNLI lifeboat station will lower our flag to half mast on Thursday (9 October), the day of Adrian’s funeral.
Our thoughts are with Adrian’s wife, his young daughter, his family, friends, colleagues, and all those affected by this tragedy.
