Let's see your best military boat pics
OK - lets see your best pictures featuring military boats!!

No ships please and try and keep it to RIBS but the odd "hard boat" won't be ridiculed too much!

Here's my starter for ten ........

1) One of the RAF Sailing Association's 585 Ribcrafts
2) Arctic with twin 250 two strokes
3) Navy Pacific
4) Clyde MOD Plod
5) Arctic - not sure where though

Is it the Halmatic with the twin o/b's?, one of the police crew told me it uses more fuel at full throttle than the force helicopter.
