ILB, ALB
 
Launch request from Coastguard to assist 70 year old female with reported chest pains on the coastal path somewhere between Caiplie & Crail.
LOM authorised both boats because of uncertain location and the casualties possibly suffering a heart attack.
ILB located the casualty with her husband and two ILB crew provided first aid with Oxygen, GTN spray & Aspirin.
