Return of the native The former Aberdeen lifeboat Ramsey Dyce - which served at the station between 1957 and 1976 before being transferred to the relief fleet - visited her old station during September 1995. She had previously called at other Scottish ports during a voyage which took her to Orkney and Shetland under the command of her new owner Major Keith Oliver.

The Barnett class lifeboat and her successor the Arun class BP Forties are pictured just before her arrival at Aberdeen where she was the star attraction at the station's last open day of the year.
