Spirit of America launched at Hunny


Published on Tuesday 13 May 2008 13:12

Wednesday, May 11, 1983: HUNSTANTON'S new lifeboat, Spirit of America was named with an Anglo-American celebration to mark the occasion.

The naming ceremony was carried out by retired US Navy officer Vice Admiral Donald Engen, a former president of the American fundraisers who helped to buy the 22,500 Atlantic 21 lifeboat.

Our picture shows the Rev Paul Allton, vicar of Old Hunstanton, Holme and Thornham, dedicating the new lifeboat.

A feature of the ceremony was a flypast by a RAF Jaguar, piloted by Heacham-born Pilot Officer Richard Garwood. Picture: 83/2698
