NZ Coastguard MayDay

The Coastguard New Zealand recently ran a print advertising campaign with the tag line,
“This time, we’re the ones asking for help”. The MayDay Appeal, run between May 1 and 15, focused on raising funds for practical training of volunteers around the country; “Train One – Save Many”. The print ads show volunteers on Coastguard vessels letting of distress signals using a torch, flare and parachute flare.
