Visit to Fowey by Prime Minister, Cornwall. June 1990
Visiting Fowey in June 1990, Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher met some of the RNLI crew and went for a trip around Fowey harbour in the lifeboat. She watched a mock rescue, from the lifeboat to the RNAS Culdrose helicopter, from the shore at Albert Quay. The lifeboat used was Faithful Forrester, on loan to Fowey from Dover. After decommissioning in 1997 she was sold to Australia. Photographer: Jonathan Barker

EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in this historic print is the memorable visit of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to Fowey, Cornwall in June 1990. During her visit, she had the opportunity to meet and engage with some of the dedicated RNLI crew members who tirelessly serve their community. Eager to experience firsthand the vital work carried out by these brave individuals, Prime Minister Thatcher embarked on a remarkable journey around Fowey harbour aboard the lifeboat Faithful Forrester. As she sailed through the picturesque waters, she witnessed a captivating mock rescue operation unfold before her eyes. From Albert Quay's shoreline, Prime Minister Thatcher observed as the skilled lifeboat crew seamlessly transferred a stranded individual from their vessel to an awaiting RNAS Culdrose helicopter for further assistance. The display showcased not only their unwavering commitment but also highlighted the close collaboration between different emergency services. The significance of this particular moment lies not only in its depiction of political history but also in capturing a snapshot of unity and resilience within Cornwall's coastal community. This powerful image serves as a testament to both the bravery exhibited by our RNLI heroes and Prime Minister Thatcher's genuine interest in understanding and supporting those who safeguard our shores. Photographed by Jonathan Barker, this invaluable piece offers us an insight into an extraordinary day that will forever be etched into Fowey's collective memory.
