I’ve watched many of these videos because I’m researching the livery and painting of the Shannon class which I’m building (airfix) but they seem to differ so greatly my boat 13-40 is in memory of my late father so what’s correct bold large white stripe as here or the thinner stripe but that aside I have utmost respect for all crews going out to the unknown in all conditions 24hrs 365 days

"The all weather lifeboat has been scrambled"

This is a joke , isnt it ? 🤔 10 minutes before starting the boat in the water ? 6 Guys around without the people in the boat-house ? Take the money from all of this including this trailer-combination and you have a cruiser with a second small boat aboard Safe in a harbour alltimes ready to be on the way 2 minutes after receiving the emergency-call ...

Love how the RNLI guys keep their stuff spotless!

Chez nous aussi on a la mer, la SNSM, ils partent d'un quai, normalement quoi.... vous faites rien comme les autres sur cette ile...

😉👍👍👍

Give generously, as they do.

Travis 😊😅🎉😂😅

Great video! I've subscribed!

How loud is it irl

With an actual SERIOUS question now, do they wash this down with fresh water to keep corrosion off and away?

MAN! how do you keep your boat so nice? What docks do you keep it at? "Oh we don't, we keep it inside the house." Wifey cleans it while she vacuums, and dusts, cleans dishes, clean boat bottom, washes window, washes bot widnows, polishes silver, polishes my buoys. IN FACT, it's so nice, we sleep in the boat, INSIDE the house, it is nicer than our bedroom." BUT HOW do you launch it? "oh that is simple, my wife's volkswagon beetle has tracks fitted to it, she just pulls it out into the ocean until she is about 12 feet under until it floats, and then drives back to the house. She has a snorkel for breathing.

Why did they not just drive in a straight line straight out from the ramp instead of wandering around? Just curious.

Not very Miami Vice is it. Respect to the boys though lol. Live savers and genuine steel balled heroes.

The "claustrophobic" and cramped interior of this design is the result of it being designed as a tilting train. Even though not all of these units have the tilt mechanism fitted. When a train "tilts" in corners it would hit oncoming (non tilt) trains, so its body design has to be made narrower to avoid such disasters !!

A classic example of the stupidity of the Post BR "Franchise era". Adding yet another coupling type to Britain's rolling stock fleet. In this case the German Scharfenburg coupling. Means having multiple types of coupling in use, that cannot interface with other coupling types, results in more serious delays when a train breaks down. As the train behind is more likely to be unable to assist if it has a different coupling !!

From memory the turntable at St. Blazey was converted from vacuum to air pressure operation, (run from the locomotives brake pipe), because Diesel locos had to use it to get into the roundhouse stalls. However judging by the rusty rails and the problems they are having turning Clan Line, it hasn't had any maintenance in years. If a loco is balanced correctly even a 130 ton loco should need just two men to turn it !

A magnificent loco. Best bit of the film - hearing a little child say "bye Choo Choo" when it pulled away

Many thanks for your courageous work in dangerous circumstances! Few have the ability and guts!

Thats the Way

Would it not be easier to build a bridge? 😂🌉

Very disappointing video you should have put the voyagers numbers in the link above too sir.

After watching a lot of RNLI videos... Champions of boat launching in creative ways. But wouldn't be cheaper and easier to have the boats docked ready to go?!?!

We are now in the 21st century and there is lots of modern kit to assist the emergency services in their work. In this case, it seems to slow the job down. The old method of sliding the lifeboat down a ramp from an elevated building, seems more efficient because it was faster in an emergency.

They are all proud as punch parading this very expensive kit about but the time it takes to launch a lot of these lifeboats I wouldn't want my life to be relying on them.

I agree with all the other people I hope the people are still alive that that the rescue people are going to save that way way too long could have been on the boat and gone by the time not launched

Thank you for this video because I watch the first video of Them driving the boat on the beach

I was starting to think they were just going to drive there !

Is anyone else as fed up as I am at the inane, ill-informed and downright insulting comments that can be found on any post of RNLI launches and rescues? Just stop it - - please!!

Thunderbirds are go ! :)

The trailer is powered too? NICE

BUY a DEAD CAT for your Mic. that wind noise SUCKS

🇺🇸⭐️greetings from California⭐️🇺🇸

Fuck it lad they have drowned you took to long

looks like a great way to get a whole bunch of expensive stuff stuck out there...

get out of the wind moron

I supose this lot will be cashing in on getting as many boat people across the channel. I hear that they get £20 ahead.

How extremely odd. 1. For an emergency rescue boat, it sure takes a helluva long time to get into the water. 2. Why is it not at a dock, a key, a wharf when the crew walk onboard, turn the key and blast off... or on a sled and set of rails to launch quickly into the deep? 3. This boat was not "scrambled". It was slowly poached.

Thunderbirds are go!

Very impressive and expensive for sure! Do they wash the rig after each launch&retrieve? Take care with the Virus 🦠 lurking around😷

Can’t believe those idiots wind surfing are doing it right in front of the lifeboat while is launching

Looked like great fun! Great to see a loco putting a smile on someone’s face!!

As the proud owner of an N-gauge 04 shunter, and even more proudly successfully fitted DCC decoder to it… my next ambition is to build a representative miniature control desk for it so I'm not operating it by blindly telling the motor to run at a certain speed. Wish I'd had this experience!

How many people drown in those 9 minutes to get the boat in the water please don't get me wrong rnli do great work what it is like putting wheels on your car every time you want to drive

Now thats how to launch a boat

I left the river exe in very bad weather, Portland was massive seas we carried on until we hit margate, where we slept for 48 hours lol

This is painful to watch the slipway need building out into the ex main flow and let her slid into the sea and winch her back into the boathouse would be so much quicker on the launching and this is in my home town.

Fair play to the people that launch the boats in the tractors, my local station the ramp is really steep and in rough weather the fully waterproof cab is completely covered, I'd be terrified under the big waves in a tractor

They are slow as shit! Some body could be sinking, let's take all day!

6 человек задействовано, тупо идут за машиной как стадо баранов,, зачем? там и 1 хватило бы
