Former Hoylake RNLI crew member Pete Langley has passed away. Photo: RNLI Hoylake Facebook page A dedicated former Wirral lifeboat crew member who served the area for over 30 years has passed away. Pete Langley s service with the RNLI spanned over 33 years in numerous roles and lifeboat stations, having first joined Hoylake RNLI as a volunteer all-weather lifeboat crew member in 1968. He joined RNLI West Kirby inshore lifeboat crew in 1971 and stayed there until 1989. From 1986 to 1988 he also gained unique experience as full-time crew on board Clovelly Lifeboat Station’s 70ft Clyde class lifeboat ‘City of Bristol’. This cruising lifeboat was one of only three in the RNLI fleet designed to patrol at sea for long periods of time, rather than launching to individual incidents.
