It's a shame about MRI closing; I remember when it started up (we were living near Stonehaven then). A friend of ours was one of the founders.

I got a wee shottie of one of their big RIBs once - very entertaining.

I think they need something to go up the main street in Stonehaven!

There must be plenty of funds about, they have only just recently replaced the Montrose station. Very swish. piled pontoon layout. Shop (!) - disabled access ramps , the works.
I don't have much complaint about them spending money on good facilities, since if I ever need their assistance - I'd like them to have the best gear & crew they can :)
