REDCAR lifeboatmen are pin-ups in a special calendar.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution's legacy calendar is sent to solicitors to display in their offices.

David Brann, RNLI fundraising and marketing director, said: "The calendar highlights the hard work and dedication of the volunteer lifeboat crews and increases public awareness about the importance of legacies to the RNLI, particularly as six out of ten launches are only possible thanks to legacy income."

The August picture shows helmsmen Mark Greaves and Mark Reeves and crew members Derek Robinson, Tony Wheater and Tony Wild. It recognises the crew's achievements during a rescue that took place in May 1999.
