A small boat packed with people is rescued in English waters by BF Defender operated by Border Force and overseen by HMS Severn in the middle of the English Channel on the 13th November 2022 near Folkestone Kent, United Kingdom. Channel Rescue watched from a safe distance as the inflatable raft containing about 40 people entered into English waters, BF then approached the dinghy slowly and threw a rope line over to bring them closer to the boat safely before unloading them on the Boarder Force vessel. Border Force boats patrols the English Channel to locate and collect asylum seekers crossing from France.((photo by Andy Aitchison)
