A little extra from another site:-

"Fraser Flyer (Civil Service No. 43) entered the relief fleet in February 1999. The name was chosen to acknowledge the work of a Lifeboat Fund Chairman, Sir Angus Fraser, who sadly died in 2001. This Severn boat is the largest class in the RNLI's fleet and was provided at a cost to The Fund of £879,750. She tours the coast assisting at many lifeboat stations."
