Mr N. H. Avis, of Durrington, near Hastings, who is a member of the Lifeboat Enthusiasts' Society, a year or two ago made a model of the 44-foot steel lifeboat Faithful Forester which is stationed at Dover. It has won high praise from modellers and has raised money for the lifeboat service. The pictures show (left) the full-size version of the Dover lifeboat in her pen with (right) Mr Avis' model.
