And a variety of RNLI and OTHER LIFEBOATS (Yes there are other lifeboats out there!) that I've picked up over the years.

Gosport Rescue - another non RNLI boat

Weymouth's AWB

PeterM · 15 October 2009, 21:45

Yarmouth - all tucked up in the harbour.

Was close to Mudeford ILB on Wednesday as we both went to towards a 'casualty' at the request of the CG - but no pics .

On a seperate note I get the texts when the boats go out - very interesting and supportive at the same time at 25p text I dont notice the cost .

chewy · 15 October 2009, 21:47

I tried subscribing to that but when I replied to the text the RNLI sent it rejected it?

Yes it's the one with the fit stern

Bigj · 16 October 2009, 10:33

On exercise with the Flint ILB a couple of weeks ago on the River Dee.

We were acting as the casualty boat, lost with a failed engine so they could find us and recover us back to Mostyn. It was good fun for us and valuable training for them.
