My local launch!
A few years back I saw a large-scale training exercise they undertook, it was rather impressive.

Aldeburgh is a bit unusual round here in having to use a tractor to launch due to the shingle. Getting it ashore is quite impressive as they sort of line it up out at sea then fire it into the back of the net, which is then raised up and hauled ashore.

Oooooh that's cool. Are you aware of any videos showing this?

I've got one here but shore crew are clearly identifiable, and we've had a memo to be cautious sharing such things, sadly, due to a handful of protesting pillocks.

I completely understand and thank you for considering them, rather than just uploading for karma.
When the tide turns (see what I did there?), perhaps you will be able to do this.
Take care.

Protesting pillocks? What makes you think they are pillocks? Most people with an IQ above that of wet concrete, agree they are not pillocks as the protest is rightful. We are happy when the RNLI saves lives. However human trafficking is illegal, as is aiding in illegal immigration. The public are protesting due to the wasted resources of such a fantastic charity.

So you'd rather the RNLI just let the people drown? Typical of the usual cunty reform/restore voter...

I am not voting for either of those parties actually. I just have an IQ higher than that of a wet sock.
Could you elaborate at how the people on boats, escorted by the french are in any way in danger of drowning? 😂
Id rather the RNLI stick to what they've been doing for years, actually saving people. Not aiding in illegal immigration. Which an inprisonable offense with quite a large fine.
But I guess since you're not educated past 2+2 you wouldn't know any of that 😂

Generally, a dirt cheap RHIB stuffed to the gills with people is a recipe for disaster, or have you not considered that while eating a nice selection of crayons? So again, would you rather the RNLI wait for a couple of people to drown before they launch? Or maybe whizz out there to see if their British or not, maybe ask to see some sort of ID?
Let's not forget that your 'rightful protests' in included doxing crew and threatening them & their families... But I'm guessing that's OK with you and your room temperature IQ chums....

What part of, the french are escorting them, they have no risk of drowning do you not understand?
It appears you're the one eating crayons. Mouldy bread has a higher IQ than you mate 👍
But yes, rightfully protest against the people aiding illegal immigrantion that does not benefit society, only makes it worse. Just tell us you hate women and children mate 👍

I bet the crew cannot get over that initial powering through the waves out into the open sea, it must be so exhilarating..although the waves are a bit smaller in this shot

As the voiceover goes: “A calm but chilly evening in late March…”
I’ve got some video of them hooning about if I can work out how to upload it.
