COVER PICTURE Dunbar inshore lifeboat returns to harbour after giving display on lifeboat day, July 20. She is a 16' D class inflatable lifeboat built by RFD. Inner tubes fitted within the buoyancy tubes markedly improve air-holding over long periods and reduce maintenance work.

The photograph was taken by Allan S.

Campbell.
