The first ever child of two ex-lifeboat crew members: Andrew James Louis Mitchell with his parents, David and Marjorie, on the day of his christening which was held, naturally enough, aboard Aberdeen's 54ft Arun class lifeboat BP Forties. Marjorie, daughter of Aberdeen branch chairman Rodney Addison, became Scotland's first girl crew member aboard the station's inflatable lifeboat in 1975. She met David on board BP Forties when he was serving as a member of the crew.
