Identification
All lifeboats have a unique identification number.
The first part indicates the class. Mersey class lifeboats start with 12 because they are almost 12m in length.
The numbers after the dash refer to the build number. So the first Mersey built was given the number 12-001.
A build number with three digits indicates a hull constructed of aluminium. Two digits indicate a hull constructed of fibre-reinforced composite (FRC).
Communications and navigation
VHF (very high frequency) and MF (medium frequency) radio with digital selective calling (DSC)
VHF direction finder (DF)
global positioning system (GPS) with electronic chart system
radar..

Finally getting stuff together for my USMC figs :D Now I'm just waiting on a few vests and rifles to come and I will have a couple Marines done as well.

A friendly wave from the door of the Fulmar. This is one of the Briggs Marine pilot launches and is seen here working on the Mersey returning to Liverpool with the pilot of a vessel that has just crossed the bar outbound.

We took a Camel Safari while we were in Jaisalmer, and as photographers it presented lots off unusual subjects and settings to shoot. After we had dismounted from our beasts they were lead away to have their saddles removed and wander about and graze.
I managed to get myself in the right spot to shoot some silhouettes as they passed by the setting sun.
You can read all about this day's travel in Jaisalmer here:

I was helping the Maritime Archaeology Trust survey an old torpedo station as part of their "Forgotten Wrecks of the First World War" project. The port authority were very kind in ferrying us out to the breakwater using the pilot boats. The Rodwell and Culverwell pilot boats are Interceptor 42 type vessels.
Taken around 1970
BTH Type 1 - Class 15 - (D)8234 in 'the Yard' at Liverpool Street station, in about 1970.
The loco retained its green livery until it was withdrawn and scrapped, in 1971. One example of the class has survived.
The station was extensively rebuilt in the mid/late 1980s, and today (2022) the middle tracks here have gone, and the platform tracks (9 and 10) are next to each other, and this area is subterranean..

Finally got a new photo set-up, hope it looks a bit better. As you all know, I am no photographer, but I try.
I know it's not perfect but I did my best, the helmet was a true pain in the ass, it might not look like it but it was extremely hard to sculpt.
