The Billy Deacon Building, Highcliffe

This modern building is part of the Maritime and Coastguard Agency's Training Centre at Highcliffe, and contains an operations room simulator and classrooms. It was named after Billy Deacon, a Coastguard helicopter winchman who tragically lost his life during the rescue of the crew of the Green Lily on the Scottish coast in 1997.
