Several new rescue hovercrafts are set to be introduced in Burnham-On-Sea.
BARB Search & Rescue is replacing its existing fleet of hovercrafts with new crafts.
The charity says that after considerable research and a trial of several crafts over the past few years, it has chosen the IH-6 hovercraft, pictured here.
“The first of the new hovercrafts has recently arrived in Burnham and pilot training is underway ahead of a formal naming ceremony,” adds a spokesman.
“This advanced new craft is constructed for performance in a variety of terrains and is fully equipped for saving lives along our coastline.”
