The Seal Class search & rescue craft SEAGULL alongside at Newcastle Quay. Sorry no date on photo.
Built by Fairmile Construction Co Ltd at Berwick-on-Tweed in 1970.

Not sure that she should be in the Naval section but I can move it if I'm totally wrong.

Seagull at Blyth 26 April 1998 - she was paid off in 2003 and had the buff coloured mast as in the first photo at Newcastle for a period from 1991.

I guess this is the same visit that SEAGULL made to Blyth as Buggins posted.

No its later, the fuel tanks are gone. The three were regular visitors, working with RAF Boulmer Rescue before the SMIT SPEY and her mates arrived.
