RNLI OPEN DAY EVERY TWO YEARS.
I had never been before , but will certainly go again. not expensive to get in and plenty to see and do, eat and drink if you wish
my complements to the guys on the Hog roast stand. met some friends on the lifeboat enthusiast stands missed the demo they
did in the harbour. all in all the R.N.L.I did a very good job suppling the amenties throughout the site, which meant you didnot have
to queue for you no were after visiting the beer tent.
you cannot leave without having gained some knowledge on sea safety and a Great respect for the R.N.L.
some pictures of the day

and some more

and more hope they don't bore anyone but may encourage you to go next time

don't forget the R.N.L.I is a charity if you can spare a bit it all helps

people who have and do today serve in the R.N.L.I

Nope, not a problem at all Mcat. Nothing to good for these brave boys in Orange and reflective stripes! :-))

Excellant pictures MCAT, what a brilliant statue that is very impressive. If you have any more pictures put them on the forum please.
The RNLI is one of the charities that I give to through my payroll, could not go to a better cause

Hi Nice photos O0
I'm lucky enough to work on the construction of the tamar class boats and having seen the pictures of the conditions they use the boats in you've got to give the crews the upmost respect.The new carriage way boat looks as if it would make a cracking model with a couple of kerher? jet drives in it - just have to find me a suitable hull.........
cheers

That's the old FCB2 design the one that fail to perform to an acceptable level in trials http://www.rnli.org.uk/who_we_are/press_centre/news_releases/news_release_detail?articleid=322374 (http://www.rnli.org.uk/who_we_are/press_centre/news_releases/news_release_detail?articleid=322374)
