Known History

This Belgium lifeboat brought refugees to England during the early part of World War 2.  She was refurbished by Morgan Giles in 1940.  She was taken over by the RAF and used in Lyme Regis as she was suitable for the shallow harbour there.  What happened to her after the war is unknown.
