RAF LAUNCHES
By John Sweatman
Two different launches. The smaller one presumably not a rescue vessel.
A view from the very early 1960's. The dredger Foremost Prince is at the left.
2754 is a 68' RTTL (Rescue & Target Towing Launch) built in 1956, capable of 39 knots! You're quite right, 1196 is a Pinnace, a 'maid of all work' for the RAF. - Andy, Editor
