Possible reference[edit]

I can't find it outside of Gale (Gale A63810652) which can be accessed via The Wikipedia Library (permalink) but there is a reference that is a 2 August 2000 article in The Independent which says that in 2000, during a race, Solent Rescue rescued Sir Michael Richardson (investment banker) and "his crew, son-in-law and granddaughter" from a boat which sank. The boat formerly belonged to Vernon Stratton (which is probably not worth mentioning). I can't find the article but again, it's on Gale. However, instead of inserting it into the article I wanted to present it as a possible source here, because I'm not sure if adding it to the article would just be namedropping or if that's actually relevant and if Sir Richardson is important enough to warrant a mention in the article as a notable rescuee.

Also as an aside, I'm very much out of my depth in writing about a British lifeboat organisation, and I'm trying to write in British English as best as I can but I'm not sure the proper way to refer to Solent Rescue without literally just using the words "Solent Rescue". So if anyone wants or feels the need to come behind me and correct what I'm sure are mistakes in how I'm writing the article, please feel free to do so, my main goal is to source the article and establish notability, but I would welcome someone more familiar with British English to come behind me and make adjustments as necessary. - Aoidh (talk) 08:51, 23 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
