The sooner everyone has Tamar class lifeboats the better. Don't give metal? give paper the next time you see the bucket on holiday. Tamar class lifeboats save lifes.
@gotnowt well not entirely true... ALL lifeboats save lives. the tamars are just the newest shiniest ones... and most Mersey's will never be replaced with a tamar as they are usually carriage launched.
@gotnowt True, very true. But remember not all stations are getting Tamar's. They are only replacing the Tyne Class, as some lifeboats on station already meet the operational limits of the Tamar Class.
This video was taken about fifteen years ago it was in storm force11 winds during the day the normal coxswain was at work and the boat was taken by the mechenic the call was for a broken down trawler off kilkeel this is newcastle lifeboat based at the east coast of Northern ireland

And the most impressive thing - given a successful rescue, these men and women would have considered this a GOOD day at work.
Are and always will be my charity of choice. Well done all.

All this and the rescue has'nt started yet, unlike the rest of the 999 crews the RNLI have to get there first!
