Title: RNLB The Three Sisters
Post by: Charlie on July 26, 2019, 09:06:48 pm

Solent Class Lifeboat, RNLB The Three Sisters 48-011, out last Sunday for an exercise launch in the tranquil surroundings of Dunorlan Park, in Kent. It was quite early in the morning so there was no other water traffic around, save for a few Geese!

I don't think I've ever seen this one before - she looks lovely on the water  :-)

Thanks Charlie, just had a quick look at the build log and the video - I'll have to have a slow read through later on, I also favour plasticard where possible  O0

Ray.

Today was the day to test out the towing capabilities of the Solent Class! Luckily there was a broken down motor cruiser in need of assistance........

Yep, that's a successful towing job Charlie.
A beautiful park and a great lake, along with good weather. Thanks for sharing   :-))
