On Tuesday I went to the Lizard Lifeboat Station in Kilcobben Cove to watch the Lizard, Falmouth and Penlee All-weather lifeboats take part in a joint exercise with a search & rescue helicopter from RNAS Culdrose 771 squadron. This is expected to be the last time for lifeboats and helicopters to operate together. The weather was really good, and we were treated to a very good display. I've posted a few photos which I took on a compact camera.
