Everysecond counts RNLI promo film 1960s,,part 1 or 2

films typical british 1960s but some good footage if you wait out the boring bits.
Boats and crew kit have certainly improved a bit.

Nice one,

Ah, the old days.

Not the 60's but the early 80's I had an old Campari which was full of patches and slow leaks powered by a 2hp Johnson.

Took it to France, launched from a safe slipway and started to get that sinking feeling.

Didn't realise how submerged a Johnson could be and still run, all in front of our French cousins.

Next stop, the local French rubbish dump.
