Still catching up here, just found this, great pair of fireboats you have, I wonder about those flames too, fingers crossed a vessel of the same class should be arriving at Mercia Fire & Rescue headquarters in the near future, quite what they'll do with it when it arrives I don't know but the chief has decreed that there should be a fireboat & water rescue section and it will be so. When it does arrive I will be studying these pics again very closely and looking to see if any post production modifications need to be made, apart from the chief's suggetion of a fishing rod to catch supper with when it's quiet, I guess I'm going to need to find some floodlights at the very least.
I hope that was just a training exercise and nobody was actually in peril, somehow the old skipper looks like he knows his stuff and seems right in his surroundings. Our congratulations to your Department on their vessels, will they just have their numbers or will they be named as well?
