"The Lady Rank", roped to "Watchful", moves into Holes Bay. On the date of my visit, there appeared to be a training exercise for several RNLI boats. The Lifeboat College is based at Poole. Poole’s lifeboat, “City of Sheffield” (Tyne Class, from 1982), was not involved, remaining on standby, outside Poole Lifeboat Station. Alderney’s “Roy Barker I” (Trent Class, from 1994) was in attendance, as were former Angle lifeboat “The Lady Rank” (Tyne Class 1982-2008), and Tyne Class training lifeboats “Ian and Anne Butler” and “Watchful”. http://www.rnli.org.uk/ Image
