Our Turn ! "Annie Blaker" doing her twirl for the audience. Most twin engine lifeboats can turn a 360 on the spot ...

Another Tyne ! but one I have already met whilst she was in service. View from the front of 47-033 [ON1151] "Mary Irene Millar" was built in 1989 and served at Portpatrick [Scotland] until 2011, then two years in the relief fleet being being sold. Now lives near Plymouth.

Pulling away from the dock / Quayside in Newcastle upon Tyne after the lunch break, about to pass under the Millennium Bridge [the pedestrian blinking eye bridge]. Overall, the row raised several thousand pounds for the RNLI. image recently forwarded to me.

Nice image of "ice pancakes" on the River Tyne at Hexham, December 2022. These small scale ice circles appear to have formed within areas having surface eddies in otherwise slow moving water. not my image : fair use & public education

Some consultation going on, perhaps ? The Tyne escorted Balmoral for a short distance as she departed for the daytrip to the Isle of Man.

Run-off from the heavy rainfall associated with Storms Ciara and Dennis has produced spate [high flow] conditions in the River [South] Tyne, as seen on the 21st February 2020.

This Pilot boat was a Tyne class all-weather lifeboat. Seen in Arbroath, Sept 2016. Will attempt to confirm ID.

This postcard was labelled as a Tyne Pilots convention. I disagree. It shows a Lifeboat Regatta, these took place as regular challenges between lifeboat crews to time rowing over a set route. Of course, "visiting" crews had to get there, and local "lightweight" boats such as Rubie class "William Riley" would have had *some* advantage. It is possible that Pilots would be crew members, along with local fishermen and seafarers.

The Workington lifeboat, the "Sir John Fisher" passing by, at some speed.

That subway under the old A69 bridge was flooded, will try to determine the depth on a future visit. That fence is more substantial than it looks, as it was intended to prevent most vehicles ending up in the river.

Spate conditions on 11th November 2015 for the River South Tyne at Alston Arches, Haltwhistle. It was even higher a few days later.
