Many thanks for the video of the Crash tender in action and the web site from the colonial , my girl (94) has the third motor , some 28 or more years young about 25 lbs I think and at 46 inches is very good at a rough sea / pond ( due to weight and still planes at 50 -60 % power only) as here we do not have the luxury of fresh still waters, we use the creeks and tidal salt sea rivers, all built as per kit and very quiet I/c , as I cannot figure out how your model videos allow any loud model I/c high pitch engine noise as I thought you were pestered by the noise complainers in the UK? I use the muffler exhausting along a pipe to a tin can expansion chamber screw top 6 ounce can(internally coated with bitumen mastic, to stop rust from the acidic/alkaline combustion fumes)and then piped along again to come out the stern, as a non scale half inch dia brass tube is used. Super quiet as an electric and traps exhaust oil as well , which is decanted occasionally, all the best for the web site and those attending the Fireboat rally , wish I was there so much. All the best and thank you for your efforts by ALL . Lyle.

HI Paul, that is the whole video, British Pathe do give you the option to download the same length video but at a better quality if you wish. Type in "air sea rescue" to their website and all the info will come up. You can also download stills etc. but it all costs unfortunately.

I did debate for about 0.0001 of a second on whether or not to pay the 500 pounds they were asking for to enable me to put the full quality video clip on this site. But then I decided to put petrol in my car instead! 😎

thanks Stephen, but you have really "wet" my appeteite for more! how can I see the rest (How does Peter find these things, I think he has a secret past he is not sharing...........!!

Brilliant I watched it mesmerised
