Two persons can join the flight crew on RFA Fort George for a twirl around the BVI aboard the ship's Lynx helicopter. Designed for reconnaissance and rescue the Lynx is the work horse of the Royal Navy. Meet the helicopter on the flight deck of the RFA Fort George and, following a flight briefing, you’ll lift off for a tour of the BVI.

The story behind this painting is "Robert" making his yearly coal pits. There is some smoke in the background depicting a pit that is lit. In the main part, Bob is resting after stacking wood to make another coal pit. At the time this image was taken, we did not know that Bob would get sick, so this is basically the last image of the making of a coal pit on Sage Mountain. This will be a very historical image in the future. There are no more farmers on Sage that make coal pits. This is a tribute to the Sage Mountain farmer.
