Shannon Class LRV

This is the prototype Launch and Recovery Vehicle for the new Shannon class lifeboat. Its parked in Hayle at the moment awaiting rough weather launching trials soon.

When I first heard that this was going to cost 1 million pounds (not including the lifeboat that already costs 2 million pounds) I couldn't believe how expensive it was. Now having seen it, I cant believe they can build it for so little !

I will try and get over when its in operation to show it in action
