The Coastguard

My good friend and No1 fan of the Coastguard found the following links on U tube.

The films are old (and I mean old!) they are information films about the Coastguard and was made in 1972 for the 150th Anniversary of the Coastguard.

Whilst the equipment, clothing and hair cuts have changed, the basic duties of the Coastguard are still relevant now as they were in the film.

For you Lifeboat fans, the old boats shown here are some what old, not like the modern and fast boats of today. The helicopters, well take a look not sure I fancy a flight!

So whoever put them on U tube - thank you, its good to see our history being kept alive.
