RNLI Trent Class number 14-14

I have a picture of this boat but no information of the RNLI station where it is based. I have searched on the RNLI website to no avail.
Maybe a forum member may have seen it, any idea's? The first 14 stands for 14 metres and the second 14 is the 14th produced thats all I know.
Thanks for any help.

FWIW 14-02 was the first production boat in the class, 01 being the prototype, she was named Esme Anderson and handed over to Ramsgate L/B station in Oct '94.

Not a bad pic but 20 years ago I remember a pic of an the Arun class, the Marie Winstone I think, based in Fishguard and coxswain Frankie George taking her through Strumble Head overfalls in a blow. She came off the back of a wave with daylight underneath and props out of the water. It was one of many practice nights he insisted on in rough weather and the crew became acclimatised or left.
