Once a Coastguard - always a Coastguard

Its often said, once you have served in the Coastguard you have become a member of a large family and an eye is kept on you from then on.

Well we are sorry to hear that Dave Ogden isn't well at the moment so from all the team - we send our best wishes. Dave retired some years ago from his position of DSO and many young people will know him as the site manager from the middle school.

Pictured above in 2005 at Peveril Point, Dave was displaying the equipment for a poster for the Police. Only being 6 years ago its quite amazing the changes in the kit (Not Dave!).

Check out the winch - or in those days the chain saw (I think we broke a good 6 of those!)
