Barrow, Cumbria - North Division

The gaunt outline of Barrow's slipway and the functional boathouse for the station's Tyne and D class lifeboats dominates the seaward side of Roa Island.

The aircraft is almost over Peel Island, to which a ferry runs from the public slip to the left of the lifeboat station.

The station has the longest slipway in use by the RNLI at some 440ft, and is seen here at virtually low water.
