| 2000 After an unconscious man was recovered from the sea early on Christmas morning 1999 the Thanks of the Institution Inscribed on Vellum was awarded to Helmsman Michael Jones for helming the lifeboat at the very limit of the operational capabilities of a B class lifeboat. A collective Framed Letter of Thanks was awarded to Crew Members Barry Shillinglaw, Paul Wright and Howard Jones. Eight shore helpers received a collective Letter of Appreciation from the Director, and the Station Honorary Secretary received a Letter of Appreciation from the Chief of Operations. | |
| 2005 The inshore rescue hovercraft, H-005 Hurley Spirit, was placed on service. This is the RNLI's fifth hovercraft and was donated by Mrs Kay Hurley MBE. The hovercraft works alongside the ILB covering the many areas around the coastline where a conventional lifeboat cannot operate. | |
