2024 is the 30th year of operation for National Coastwatch Institution. Accordingly, this summer will see a 2,000+ mile journey of a specially commissioned flag (pictured above) celebrating 30 years of NCI. The 1.5m x 1m flag bears the names of all NCI stations in order of longevity (so Prawle Point appears in the first column, as the 12th station to open and the first beyond the Tamar). Locally, the flag will arrive from Rame Head on July 8 and on the morning of Tuesday July 9 at around 1015 local time the flag will be carried aboard one of Britannia Royal Naval College’s 15m Vahanna transport boats; two of these vessels will then accompany the flag on its journey to Dartmouth for handover to the next station, NCI Froward Point. You are most welcome to join us for a short ceremony at Whitestrand – details to be announced at https://www.nci-prawlepoint.org.uk/nci30-jul9/
