Lough Swilly Lifeboat Station
[edit]Thanks for the corrections on the Lough Swilly Lifeboat Station page. I wanted to point out, the occasion of 'the the' errors on my behalf, seems to be an auto error correct, its happened three or four times now. If you find any, it should usually read 'to the', so please check the context before deleting what appears to be a double entry.
Also, Lifeboat Numbers have hyphens, not Endash, as its a number 13-08 (the eighth of type 13), not a range. I know its something wiki picks up, and it didn't see the other fve numbers, all 47-XXX.
But we're all good, Best wishes
