Happy birthday D class! Our newest boat, a D class Civil Service 54, was recently officially handed over to our good friends @CromerRNLI

[RNLI @RNLI]

Happy Birthday to the D class! 🎂

Did you know that the D class lifeboat is 60 years old? The first service of our inshore lifeboats was our D class @aberlifeboat. Six decades later they're still saving lives.
