Where does the drive come from to deliver RB Project Q …. Perhaps this might help explain…
Once A Royal Marine Always A Royal Marine.

A quick trip down memory lane….

Robert donated the da Vinci Xi Robot to the people of Poole in 2015 …

Why? ….How did that come about? …Who was behind that mission? What happened next?…

WE launched the RB Project Q training facility vision January 2017 at the London Boatshow.

Why was that down to us? I’ll tell you … Because

Robert Braithwaite CBE DL and Professor Tahseen Qureshi
RB Project Q were/are definitely men of vision and WELL AHEAD of their time.

For me, I just wish “others” could see the potential of the vision … Because …I don’t have another 10 years to wait.

When you wonder Why?

Today is a really…really hard day for us …

Our son Ryan Luke Eaton
Born 27:02:1992 -
Died 23:10:2009….

Ryan was born 27 February 1992. The whole pregnancy journey and birth was a real miracle because both Debbie and Ryan survived …

Today this memory struck a cord. Ryan sword in hand ready for battle, this typifies his short life… Ryan fought so many battles …and he fought so bravely. Those are scars that run deep but …..He lived.

Our hearts were shattered when Ryan died ….16 years ago….today. Still feels like yesterday …
The pain of that loss we wouldn’t wish on anyone. We carry it willingly in the knowledge that we had a wonderful son.

How do we cope? … some days we don’t but most days we can.

Focusing on changing the future, making it brighter for others helps….
and talking about him everyday keeps Ryan right where we want him At the forefront of our minds.

Project Q ….The reason

Thanks to Spike and the lads of H & I Kelly Landscapes for getting us to a workable place…Great team !!

I asked Phil and Joe (The homeless lads in the tent across the road from RFS )if they would voluntarily help Steve and Alan getting the next stage going they agreed. On Tuesday a Steve picked the guys up and they worked on removing a Rhododendron Stump and fixing a couple of fence panels as Steve wanted them…Trade off …A lovely chicken roast dinner from RFS.
Today the lads helped at RFS clearing space then moving a refurbished freezer and chiller into the storage container. We then cleared a trailer of equipment and bits into the workshop ready to be checked tested and setup. Trade off….A potato, chorizo, ham, cheese and onion frittata for Joe and a cheese, ham and for onion toastie with baked beans and a fried egg on top for Phil. That was just for breakfast plus teas, coffees and soft drinks to keep hydrated. On completion a lovely lamb roast dinner… The food coma is a freebie😜👨‍🍳👋.

A serious request…What these guys could really do with is some gardening tools and hand tools etc. Can’t work without tools.
That would enable us to “find them” odd jobs ….potentially” getting work that runs alongside benefits until they have enough business to come off benefits. That has to be guided by the Jobcentre on the best way forward. We don’t want to “cock up” the benefits they rely on to “live”.
Any spare gardening tools, or donations graciously received… Please message to arrange drop off/collect from at RFS.

Well done lads, keep it up 👏👍Rob

“Lumpy but Acceptable” 🎣….

TANGO 7 in the Lee of the land 13:10:25 on our penultimate running in day.

14/10/2025

Derek and I took TANGO 7 out on our penultimate running in leg yesterday. We slipped from F Pontoon at 11:00 am heading towards Swanage for a change of scenery. We followed a couple of Sunseekers out of the harbour … a good day for a sea trial with a brisk Easterly. Quite “lumpy” off Old Harry but TANGO 7 handled it no problem!
Nevertheless we decided it was too uncomfortable for fishing so turned and headed into the lee of the Chines.
Engine had a good workout and didn’t miss a beat thanks Holes Bay Marine Engineering …. We’ll be booking in for the first service shortly 🫡🇬🇧👋.
Returned to berth about 17:30 three Plaice and a Bream coming home for the pot. A 30cm Gurnard, Small Conger and a couple of Bass returned for another day. De-store, Re-store wash down and lines doubled up 6.5hrs done.
That means 5.5hrs to service so next trip we will recover and get that done then ..TANGO 7 is good to go! 🇬🇧🫡.

I copied this from a Surgeons Linked in Post …The outcome I believe is that it creates an untenable position.

From the post what struck me the most?

Surgical Training …14 years to learn how to save life…

MBA 2 years to UNDO all that …Whats that mean …? 😳

Do WE really want OUR Surgeons to HAVE TO become business men/women first ?

To ASSUME ….Makes an ASS out of U and ME…

Medicine: Do NOT assume. Don’t be an ASS 👍🫡🇬🇧.
Business: Assume Everything. Be an ASS? 😳

Evidence: That which tends to prove or disprove something.

Medicine: Rely on the Evidence 👏
Business: Optional 🤷‍♂️😳. You can make up the truth…😱

HARM
Medicine: Do NO Harm. Act in the best interest of the patient.
Business: Make money. As for Harm sod the patient? 🤬

Money:
Medicine: Patient before the Pound
Business: Pound before the Patient.

Bigger picture…It’s little wonder why businesses have been slow in getting behind RB Project Q.

But….That means WE have to MAKE this happen because the PERSON always comes FIRST in our vision.

What makes me really believe WE are on the right track?

I have had the privilege of briefing over the past few years thousands of Rob's Filling Station customers on the vision that is RB Project Q.
Yesterday I had the pleasure host the “Not Just WI Lychett Matravers who have kindly bought a brick in support of RB Project Q and The Stronghold
Thank you for your trust in me and for supporting the vision Rob 🫡🇬🇧.
