The achievements of the RNLI, often romanticised, depend on
ordinary people doing extraordinary things.This book tells the
story of the last 50 years of the lifeboat service through the
words and actions of the people involved. In the period since the
Second World War, particularly from the mid-1960s, the RNLI has
experienced the most rapid changes in its long history. The
transition from conventional to fast lifeboats, the introduction of
inshore boats and the expansion into beach rescue and sea safety
have all dramatically changed the lifeboat service. Ray and
Susannah's narrative draws on their personal and extensive inside
knowledge plus first hand accounts of the rescues and the decisions
that shaped the changing lifeboat service.
