‍Site Clearance
We have cleared another large area within the main compound with the removal of two unused J24's, one container and many other redundant items. 

We are greatful for the assistance provided in undertaking these tasks and for the co-operation of training camps and main compound users.

We have great feedback on our new Committee Boat, “Dylan ail Don” which is now on the Plas Heli pontoons.

This strengthens our fleet of committee boats, and supports our fleet of 12 safety and Mark Layer RIBs.
