This is RNLI tractor T50, a 1949 Case LA roadless, that was Newbiggin by the Sea's launching tractor. The two Mr Martin's pictured rescued T50 from Ireland and did the restoration, here being shown off at Middle Engine Lane.

The restored Oakley class self-righting "Mary Joicey" on display at Newbiggin-by-the-sea.

Having been out on a training exercise outside the breakwaters, the arresting net was used as part of the recovery. Once ashore, training continued with handling the lifeboat to turn it to face the other way in the trailer and make ready to launch again.

Side view of the restored T50 (KLA 84) on display at Middle Engine Lane. This 1949 built ex RNLI launching tractor was on station at Newbiggin by the Sea between 1949 and 1959. It was rescued for restoration from Ireland.

One of the main exhibits in the Maritime Heritage Centre is the last all-weather lifeboat to be stationed at Newbiggin by the Sea. "Mary Joicey" ON984 was on duty 1966 to 1981 and went on her travels for the next eight years whilst in the relief fleet. Withdrawn in 1989 and put on display at Beale Park.

Looking from the coble park, past the Lifeboat Station to the Newbiggin Maritime Heritage Centre on Church Point in the distance.

A very new moon, seen from Newbiggin by the Sea. There was an extremely high tide (27 Nov 2011) which had just about reached the upper limit by dusk.

About 1600ish on Sunday 27th November 2011. The highest tide seen for many years at Newbiggin by the Sea. Looking towards Church Point and the Newbiggin Maritime Heritage Centre.

Partial side-on view of "Mary Joicey" in the Newbiggin Maritime Heritage centre. A great deal of work has been done since 2004 - repairs and repainting, mainly.

Swimming, really swimming, probably for the first time. Allright, it is in the North Sea and almost at the end of November - but he certainly seemed to enjoy himself.

Bringing a suitable sized stick back to shore. I wonder who is going to throw it, again ...

Having fun, coping with a long stick. At Newbiggin by the Sea, November 2011.
