Burnham RNLI tractor winched from mud

The treacherous nature of Burnham-On-Sea's mud was demonstrated on Tuesday June 8 when the RNLI's own tractor became stuck at the end of the town's jetty.

The MB4H tractor is used to haul the RNLI's lifeboats out of Bridgwater Bay - but it became trapped for several minutes in a shifting patch of soft mud near the low water line.

The MB4H was winched out of the mud, back up the beach, by a second tractor.
