When a new carriage-launch lifeboat arrives at her station she is immediately re-launched and then recovered again as a final check on the carriage, tractor and lifeboat and to familiarise the shorehelpers with the new equipment. Recovery and launching are labour intensive but, no matter how tired and cold the crew and helpers, the process must go ahead. Here, long after most spectators have retired to the warmth of pub or home, Aldeburgh lifeboatmen and staff members launch and recover her again..
