Boom,

Yup, all mod cons, even more when shes finnished no doubt! Remember dinghys at least bounce, and you'd be surprised how manouverable those 'boats' are when they have something to think about!

Don't mention car ferries! - you ever see a Coastguard 406 intercept a cargo ship - me neither, but I am told its pretty spectacular!!

The only people that had their s@!* wired together that day were the Cov Recce coastguard boys from Cov and Manston.

I believe that if you approach them nicely they might even let you have a look the next time you land away at Manston - heaven knows the airport needs the landing fees!

I understand the Big Boss for Reconnaissance at Cov is Air Marshal Cliff Spink.

They're a super bunch of guys down to earth and very modest with it if a little weird!!
