Drone donated to vital West Cumbrian charity
Drone donated to West Cumbria Missing Person and Animal Search and Rescue by Mark Telford at Forth Engineering
A voluntary organisation has praised a local business after it donated a new drone that will help them search for missing people and animals.
West Cumbria Missing Person and Animal Search and Rescue was left speechless when a plea to Forth Engineering landed the voluntary organisation a new drone.
Chris Davidson, part of the search and rescue team, made a call to Mark Telford from the engineering business on Saturday to enquire about loaning a drone to help with the search for missing nine-month-old Cocker Spaniel JoJo.

The owners of a nine-month-old Cocker Spaniel who was missing for four days after bolting on Green Gable have spoken of their joy and relief after she was found.
Malcolm Fallow was walking his dog JoJo last Wednesday when she bolted and ran off towards Great Gable.
A large search rescue was launched – led by West Cumbria Missing Person and Animal Search and Rescue – with the Lakes community rallying round to reunite the pup with her owners.
“I went from hope to despair and back again probably 20 times,” said Malcolm, 60, who spent four days looking for his dog before she was found on Sunday.
