Three weeks after the visit of the Duke of Kent to the north east, Hartlepoois lifeboats, the 44ft Waveney The Scout and the At/antic 21 Guide Friendship III. and Teesmouth lifeboat, the 47ft Watson Sarah Jane and James Season, were once again giving a demonstration exercise together with a Sea King helicopter from RAF Boulmer. This time it was at Hartlepool as part of the annual lifeboat harbour fete on August 16. During the day £5,000 was raised for the lifeboats.
