Andy,are you going to add Neil to the moments in history file? He has been known to throw himself in the lake to perform a rescue of a friends model,so technically it was a Rescue Service (ask Wodney!)Mind you it was the shallow end!

cheers guys.......all of you..........gives me a lump in the throat..............as for being mentioned in Nautical history............well, that's a first.
 
Actually on a serious note for once and for some real nautical history, that you could put me down as being a participant in, is...............this exact day, and I remember the weather being just as good that day as today..............on June 3rd 1959........my life was saved from drowning by a brave lifeboat man from the end of Fleetwood lifeboat slip, when he jumped into the ebbing River Wyre fully clothed to save me after I had fallen off the slip whilst crabbing and got stuck under the slip because of the ebbing tide..........
 
A day I will never forget, and a day that I will ever give thanks to the R.N.L.I. and god bless them all, with all my heart.
cheers, neil.

Done it!, and posted before midnight of the 3rd June, so it doesn't have to be saved until next year!

I am as usual a bit late with this to wish you a happy birthday & many more to follow. You are a great friend & a major asset to our forum. To say you are a most helpful fellow would be short changing you. I want your many friends on here to know that you took the time to buy my lifeboat crews from Adrian's Model Figures, pack them well & mail them to me. They came ashore safe & sound on Monday. Neil you always put your money where your mouth is. My excuse for being late with your birthday wish is Phyllis & I have had our Mayhem member & friend John Vinsent ( oldiron ) here on a visit from Ontario (2500 Miles). We had the pleasure of John & his lovely wife Pat spend a few days with Phyllis & I,( too short) The bad news for me is that my ex-ray of my left wrist shows it is fractured & will be in a cast for 3 months, so not a good year for me I'm afraid. However life goes on & it is so nice to see that so many people remembered your birthday. Again thank you for all the help you give so graciously. Mick B.
