Working on the ‘Viking’ in a builder’s yard in Beverley in Autumn 1957 |
 Warren Stevenson on the ‘Viking’ shortly after arrival in Bridlington (1958) |
 In her first season at Brid, the ‘Viking’ leaked quite a bit… Bob Percival and Brian ‘Chick’ Verity bailing her out. |
 A beautiful Summer morning, probably 1959. Boat now moored on the North side of the ‘Chicken Run’. Bob King in the hatchway. |
Bob King in the water scrubbing, Garth Daddy on deck. |
| More from Warren Stevenson. |
Brian ‘Chick’ Verity, Garth Daddy, Bob King. Probably a spear-fishing trip, judging by how close in we are. |
 Warren just going down. Note the home-made baby’s-cot-rubber dry suit, and the converted Davis mine rescue rebreather set. Hull Frogman Club badge on the suit. Probably 1958. |
 Bob King, Brian ‘Chick’ Verity, Warren Stevenson. I now have a compressed-air set (Mistral valve and 1400 litre bottle) which makes the picture 1959 or later. |
 On board Norman’s boat, Kittiwake (another wooden lifeboat conversion). Note the brass telescope (retrieved from Withernsea rubbish dump), and the ex-RAF grid compass. |
 A trip to Devon. |
