Hi Guy,
What was it doing at your place? Fundraising or Publicity perhaps?
every year we do an event called amazing machines, this includes monster trucks, historical vehicles,supercars, earth moving vehicles and then the army historical helicopter display( formerley the blue eagles) and the emergency services, so we have the usual such as our blue watch from the firestation, sometimes police motorcycles and similar- but we always have the RNLI... usually a inshore rib on display but this year ' samburgh' - they use the event to educate our visitors but to fundraise too..( also our company HQ is opposite RNLI HQ in poole - so we are keen to support them too)
their event team left happy with bulging collection buckets and our visitors enjoyed getting up close to the craft too........
plus i got to take about 90 pictures before the crowds got in the way ! i have a cd rom for martin if he wishes to put 'em up on this site....
