Great Yarmouth and Gorleston: a radio controlled scale model of the 44ft Waveney lifeboat Barham has been presented to Great Yarmouth and Gorleston station branch.

It was made by David Sissons (r), an early member of the YLA, the forerunner of Shoreline, and represents more than 250 hours work.

Mr Sissons is seen showing his model, which will be used for fund raising, to Coxswain/ Mechanic Richard Hawkins with the full size RNLB Barham in the background.

Immediately after the presentation the model was given a trial 'at sea' on the River Yare..
