Nice shots Ross :wink: .

Missed that photo session as I never heard or saw any notice of this exercise.

I was talking to Davie at the Lifeboat Station yesterday and never mentioned anything, unless he presumed I knew about it.

Most of the shots were taken from the top of the new quay while the lifeboat was down the other end of the loch, right at the limits of my lens, so quite impressed with the way they came out really

JD the Campbeltown crowd seem to be in the loop right enough!!

Shame you weren't there. Great photo opportunity missed. Maybe better communication next time.

Good photos Ross, they show a couple of C/town Coastguard Rescue Officers on a double lift (Chopper and Jamie).
A note of thanks to the Lifeboat Coxswain and crew for inviting the Coastguard team to join in the exercise! :lol:
