Having seen the pictures of the new Longhope boat arriving, I wondered if anyone has any dates yet for the arrival of the next Tamar at Barrow - any info would be good as I would like to see her arrive and get a few shots for the album - she truly is a fine boat.
Hi dcjames,just received some provisional dates;Cromer Tamar RNLB Lester (16-07) acceptance trials May 07,arrival Oct,providing slipway alterations are complete;Barrow Tamar (16-08) acceptance Aug.07,crew training Oct.07,if I hear any more will let you know.
As of 15:55 on 6th Jan. '08 the Cromer Tamar 16-07 'RNLB Lester' has been placed on operational duty!
More details are available on the stations website.
Have checked out web D500, some great shots of Lester launching, i notice she has had a shout allready how did she perform?
Does anyone have any news on Barrow's boat? I understand she hit some bad weather off Lands End on passage home at the beginning of December and had to return to Plymouth for a few minor repairs. Any news on when she might now be arriving home?
some good video footage of her being launched on BBC Looknorthwest news today at 13.30 and 18.30 hours, if anyone wants to see on the net.
She looks beautiful.
If Fleetwood doesn't hurry up and get one I'll have to build my Speedline model as Grace Dixon
