Talented local photographer, Graham Wiffen has once again captured dramatic pictures of activity near to Milford on Sea.
Having spotted that THV Galatea was moored off Milford on Sea for most of the day last Tuesday, he then observed that later in the afternoon, it launched a helicopter, joining a second, which took a close look at the Needles lighthouse.
One of the helicopters then landed on the top of the lighthouse, and if you look closely you can just about make out the guys wandering around the base of the lighthouse in their orange gear.
Background info from Wikipedia:
THV Galatea is a lighthouse tender operated by Trinity House, the body responsible for the operation of lighthouses and marine navigation aids around the coasts of England, Wales and the Channel Islands.
THV Galatea provides aids to navigation for the safe passage of mariners, including maintenance work, buoy deployment, wreck location marking and towing. She is also able to carry out additional tasks such as hydrographic surveying and wreck finding and contract commercial work.
THV stands for: Trinity House Vessel
