Bronze medallist David Wilson, of Thornhill, Dewsbury.

West Yorkshire, plans to be in Rome next year to take part in the World Model Powerboat Championships, flush with his success in the 1987 event at Schwerin, East Germany.

Shoreline member David won a bronze medal at last year's championships with his '/sth scale model of Staithes and Runswick's Atlantic 21 rigid inflatable lifeboat Lord Brotherton.

The model lifeboat and its launching/ recovery "dodo" trolley, were built from RNLI-supplied plans. Mr Wilson also had help from his father Jim and a friend, Trevor Shaw.

The model launching tractor was built from plans supplied by the manufacturers, M A Bigland, and a special floating slipway was to David Wilson's own design and enabled him to produce a better display for the panel of five international judges.

Signal success The RNLI has received a £10 donation thanks to the generosity of a Winchester radio "ham".

Mr R C Hills spotted an advertisement in the wanted column of a specialist magazine for radio amateurs, seeking an Aldis signal lamp. Mr Hills—who owned such a lamp, for which he had no use—responded, suggesting that the North Wales Sea Cadets who had placed the advertisement send a donation to the RNLI, instead of paying him for the lamp. / understand it is just what they wanted and so everyone has bcnej'itted, he told THE LIFEBOAT.Insignia available (to Shoreline members only) Description Price 5" Dinghy Burgee £4.00 Sterling Silver Marcasite Brooch in gift hox £21 .(X) Silkscreened Gilt Cuff Links in gift box £5.60 All Metal Car Badge £4.80 12" Hoist Flag £3.80 8" Hoist Flag £2.80 Gilt and Enamel Stick Pin £1.00 Gilt and Enamel Gents Lapel Badge £1.15 Gilt and Enamel Ladies Brooch £1.00 Gilt and Enamel Tie Tack £1.30 3" Diameter Anorak Badge £0.65 Terylene Tie—blue, green, brown, maroon* £3.95 Navy Blue Sweat Shirt (36, 38, 40, 42, 44*) £9.95 Navy Blue Acrylic V-Neck Sweater (36,38,40,42,44*) £10.00 Cream or Maroon Pure Wool Sleeveless Sweater (XL, L,M,S*) £14.25 Shoreline Member's Replacement Windscreen Sticker £0.20 *Delete as necessary I enclose cheque/P.O.* — (Made payable to RNLI) To: The Director, RNLI, West Quay Road, Poole, Dorset BH15 1HZ.
