This is a BBC News report broadcast on 20th December 1981 relating the tragic loss of the MV Union Star and the crew of the Penlee lifeboat Solomon Browne the previous evening. I thought it poignant to post this as it is the 30th anniversary of this disaster next week. Sixteen people died that night, including the eight man crew of the lifeboat. • • This disaster affected me deeply, as it did everyone in the South West of England. • • http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/da...
