St. Davids coxswain, Malcolm Gray, is shown here using his courage and determination to a slightly different end! The lifeboat station recently received a D class lifeboat for evaluation trials which was delivered by launching at a nearby local harbour and getting to the station by sea. Unfortunately there was no easy way to deliver the launch tractor by sea so it was left at the top of the long flight of stairs that lead to the boathouse.

The crew had to get the tractor down somehow so Malcolm eagerly accepted the challenge but seemed to have real trouble keeping his tongue in his mouth as he bumped his way down!.
