The Coastal Command of the Royal Air Force which protects our coasts, shipping and fishing fleets from attack from the air (and has been nicknamed the "Kipper Patrol") exchanged visits with several life-boat stations in March. Life-boatmen from Broughty Ferry were taken for a flight of 20 minutes over the part of the coast which their station covers, Plymouth life-boat men were taken for a trip in one of the new Sunderland flying boats, and on their return trip officers of the R.A.F. went for a run in the lifeboat.
