Far flung fame: Alistair Mdntosh of The United Kingdom Foundation for the Peoples of the South Pacific sent in this photograph to show the extent of the RNLI influence. The small boy in the middle of the picture is wearing an RNLI tee-shirt. The photograph was taken at Bema in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea, a remote and mountainous area accessible only by foot or by air.

The tee-shirt had apparently arrived in the area among a bundle of donated clothing distributed by the Catholic Mission..
