'A History of Jersey's Emergency Services' eight-stamp set is a must-have for collectors. Vehicles from Jersey's past and present emergency services are illustrated by stamp artist and engraver Martin Mörck, from a wartime ambulance to a modern-day electric police car. Two stamps show a watercraft.
ELIZABETH RIPPON rescue boat: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=9863
And two D Class fire and rescue boats:
The Jersey post did not give much info and details on the RIB inshore fire and rescue boat.
The RIB’s are made by Evans Avon 16’ a D-Class craft, built to R.N.L.I. specification, being fitted with a power unit from Tohatsu 50 hp outboard engine.
Crew of three.
The two current orange craft arrived in 2000 and 2001 named ALPHA and BRAVO in Jersey. Which is shown on the stamp I don’t known.
2023 Both are still is service.
