More views of RNLI lifeboat stations from the air.

Mallaig -- Scotland Division The beautiful setting of Mallaig is evident, with Loch Nevis stretching away to the east. The harbour entrance faces north between Coteachan Point and Sgair Dearg lighthouse on some off-lying rocks just vtsible at the extreme left. In the last year a new breakwater has been added further protecting the entrance.

The station's Arun lies on a mooring off the dog-leg Fish Pier while the boathouse itself occupies the right hand corner of the Fish Market building.

The harbour has a tidal range of about 18ft and these photographs were taken towards high water.

Lough Swilly - Ireland Division The main photo looks south from the boathouse and slipway in the foreground towards the town of Buncrana. The slip faces almost west and, with a 12-mile fetch towards the south conditions can get very rough when launching and recovering the station's Atlantic 75 and D class. The boathouse was built in 1995, before that the small stone shed at the top of the low pier was used to house the inshore lifeboat - with water lapping at the doorway at spring high water! The large stone structure nearby is a coastal defence fort, built in 1812 to keep Napoleon at bay.

Port Erin - North Division The new boathouse at Port Erin on the Isle of Man, shown under construction was officially opened early last year. The steep slipway for the Atlantic faces north towards Bradda Head and has a specially adapted tilting trolley. To the right of the station on Breakwater Road is Raglan Pier sheltering the small drying harbour and to the extreme left can be seen the remains of a short-lived pier. Although destroyed by storms in the 1880s its ruins serve a useful purpose in providing shelter for the slip at low water.

The pictures were taken at about quarter-tide - the range at springs is over 30ft! Great Yarmouth and Gorleston - East Division Great Yarmouth and Gorleston's lifeboat (a Waveney in the photo, since replaced by a Trent) lies afloat in a special pen on the western side of the harbour.

Opposite is a commercial quay used by rig support vessels. The main view looks south, with the entrance to the harbour on the left, facing east.

The nearer of the two buildings, with the flag, is the shop and museum with the operational section and Atlantic boathouse to the north. The lifting gantry giving access to the lifeboat has a radio controlled link so that it can be raised and lowered from the lifeboat.
