The Aldeburgh Lifeboat
There are two lifeboats based in Aldeburgh, an inshore one and an offshore one, both manned by volunteer crews.
It is a tradition that on the main day of the Carnival each year both boats are launched and joined by an Air Sea Rescue Helicopter
who meet up and perform various demonstrations to the crowds that gather on the beach.
Principal amongst this involves dropping some poor sod into the sea and showing various ways of retrieving them
and transferring them to and from the Lifeboat and Helicopter - thoroughly entertaining!
