Bangersanmash 7,109 Posted August 3, 2025 Report Share Posted August 3, 2025 (edited) Just watching abit of morning TV. Didn't know that the inflatable rib was invented in Wales by some students .Then they sold the blue print RNLI for a quid. So credit to the students in Wales back then. So many life's saved at sea around the country. Edited August 3, 2025 by Bangersanmash 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
