Exmouth RNLI Lifeboat Launch 26-08-18
On a cold windy day, 26th August '18 it was Exmouth's RNLI Lifeboat Open Day.
Although it hand been confirmed that because of the weather there would be no demonstrations, there were still people there for the event & support.
At Approx 11:20 - 11:30 the boat was scrambled on a shout for the real deal. Thankfully it was only a needed to tow back a stranded yacht that was near Portland. No injuries 😁

IN FACT, it's so nice, we sleep in the boat, INSIDE the house, it is nicer than our bedroom." BUT HOW do you launch it? "oh that is simple, my wife's volkswagon beetle has tracks fitted to it, she just pulls it out into the ocean until she is about 12 feet under until it floats, and then drives back to the house. She has a snorkel for breathing.

    The "claustrophobic" and cramped interior of this design is the result of it being designed as a tilting train. Even though not all of these units have the tilt mechanism fitted. When a train "tilts" in corners it would hit oncoming (non tilt) trains, so its body design has to be made narrower to avoid such disasters !!

  • @JamesSmith-mv9fp
    @JamesSmith-mv9fp 2 роки тому

    A classic example of the stupidity of the Post BR "Franchise era". Adding yet another coupling type to Britain's rolling stock fleet. In this case the German Scharfenburg coupling. Means having multiple types of coupling in use, that cannot interface with other coupling types, results in more serious delays when a train breaks down. As the train behind is more likely to be unable to assist if it has a different coupling !!

  • @JamesSmith-mv9fp
    @JamesSmith-mv9fp 2 роки тому

    From memory the turntable at St. Blazey was converted from vacuum to air pressure operation, (run from the locomotives brake pipe), because Diesel locos had to use it to get into the roundhouse stalls. However judging by the rusty rails and the problems they are having turning Clan Line, it hasn't had any maintenance in years. If a loco is balanced correctly even a 130 ton loco should need just two men to turn it !

Some old stations still belong to SNSM (our RNLI) but a lot are now private residences, and the rescue boats are docked ready to go. And we also have tides. I guess you have more coast line Without harbors always in water, and more coastline without any protection. I'd have to check, but I don't think we launch boats like that anymore.

    We are now in the 21st century and there is lots of modern kit to assist the emergency services in their work. In this case, it seems to slow the job down. The old method of sliding the lifeboat down a ramp from an elevated building, seems more efficient because it was faster in an emergency.

      They use slipways and permanently moored boats where it is possible but at a lot of the places where they need a lifeboat station it is impossible. There's no point in having an exposed slipway that can't be used in rough weather, or a moored boat that's stuck in the mud or in a marina when the tide goes out.
