History
Built in 1942 by the Walton Yacht Company, ASRP 1218 is an RAF Air Sea Rescue Pinnace of timber construction and a Perkins S6M inboard diesel engine. She served as a training ship for the RAF Air Sea Rescue Division in the 1940s in Dundee and was renamed EARN at this time. She was one the first RAF Pinnaces to be used for training the RAF Air sea rescue crews off Scotland. She still has her original engines. As a vessel built at Walton on Thames she has now returned home to be fully restored to her original RAF condition.
