CONGRATULATIONS to Angle RNLI crew members Neil Coles and Tom Meehan for successfully passing out as All-Weather Lifeboat Mechanics recently under the watchful eye of RNLI Machinery Trainer Mike Almond.

Following rigorous assessments both ashore and afloat lasting several hours, both have met the requirements to become Mechanics. Assessed on the Tamar Class Lifeboat’s systems, emergency procedures including fires, flooding and capsize as well as a variety of machinery and equipment failures, they both demonstrated a sound knowledge and understanding of the procedures.

The assessments took place on Wednesday, November 11 and conclude what has been an intensive period of training and is testament to the continued commitment of Angle’s volunteer crew.
