A documentary exploring the work the volunteer crews of the RNLI do. Focusing specifically on Salcombe Lifeboat Station in Devon, this film shows a training exercise as well as interviews with several members of the crew.
I was a voulnteer on the Thames at Chiswick for 5yrs and loved it God bless you all. Im now a voulnteer on the coadtguard here in New Zealand take care and enjoy its a great job...........
Great video. AS a retired ex rescue/Emergency service staff member .I agree with your thoughts on training, You can never train enough. Remember training on a failure is planning to fail.
Well done everyone on this video,, I watched a documentary about the salcombe lifeboat back in 1990's Baltic Exchange 2.... I think frank smith thought he owned the boat back then the way he carried on?
Fantastically well put together video about some ordinary people who do some extremely extraordinary things. Really well shot and edited and some nice use of creative, fresh angles too, you should be very proud!
These brave people really deserve our support, I've been giving ever since i was old enough to earn and i have left a substantial portion of my estate to them, that was until now. I will never support them again. I'm sorry but it's the RNLI not the RILI, National not International. Stop empire building. I expect my donations to support the British not people in Africa and elsewhere, if you have so much money, help those that need it in the UK those that work tirelessly on our behalf, not those abroad. Giving Burkini's to those in Africa makes a mockery of those brave soles that regullarly risk and to those that have given their lives to save those in the UK seas. For example Penlee and others. Its a bloody disgrace
So you would rather take away the funding from the RNLI - which mainly saves British lives - just because 2% of it's expenditure goes overseas? BTW, the RNLI has ALWAYS had an international vision: it's founder, Sir William Hillary wrote; ‘It only remains for me to express the heartfelt satisfaction … that this Institution is now established on principles which will extend its beneficial effects to the most distant shores, and to generations yet unborn.’
@@simonparker9322 yes I would rather withdraw all my donations and give it to those that save lives around our shores because its my perogative and my opinion. Charity begins and ends at home until they've taken care of the brave people that man our boats and watch our shores
No doubt they were a wonderful organisation but now they have a CEO who pays himself over £180,000 a year and the lifeboats that are funded by the British public are being used to ferry illegal immigrants to our shores so now I wouldn't donate even a penny to them!
The RNLI’s mission is to save lives at sea. They do not discriminate and thank goodness they don’t! They strive to never let anyone drown - regardless of the circumstances they find themselves in the water.
