Friday's Airbourne

Each year the crews of the All Weather Lifeboat and the Inshore Lifeboat stand by at sea in case of an emergency.

Mark Sawyer, the Eastbourne Lifeboat Coxswain, has arranged for the Belgian helicopter to exercise with the Eastbourne lifeboat each day of the Airbourne Show.

This weekend will be a busy weekend for boating as a large number of boats from Sovereign Harbour and visitors from Newhaven and Brighton come to see the Airbourne Show.
