CMTB 104

   Hello All,

Just seen the news re above, well, another one bites the dust, though of course from the photos she was heavily modified and a lot would have to be taken off and replaced, however any news re 331 at the BMPT, also has the AGM taken place? did send apologies and small donation, but no response. Re 331, of course there are first war ones still about in Chatham Dockyard for example, but there were plans for a lottery bid to do 331 to on water standard. Anyway, as I say, pity about 104 but I know there a others of you out there saving our coastal forces craft, paricuarly the STs, plus today, though not strictly a coastal forces craft, the former customs cutter Vigilant of 1902, should be arriving at Faversham creek, having been removed for Pounds breakers at Portsmouth.

Regards

John

	Hi John, What happened to CMBP104? Wasn't she advertised for sale here and withdrawn? Regards
	Don Only a number, not even a name. How shall posterity hear of thy fame?

	Hi Don, If you have a look at News on the home page of the BMPT site, that's were it's reported that she has been broken, indeed she had "withdrawn" written across her phot while on the boats for sale section. All the best, John

	Hi John, I thought the withdrawn notice meant somebody else had taken her on. That's an awful shame. There can't be many CMB's left Regards Don

	Hi Don, Yes, see what you mean, I to thought that perhaps she had been taken on by some body, but no. As I mentioned, a couple I think around but certainly none afloat, thus the plan that was to do up 331 would have been good, but as I infered, I think that is on hold now. Regards John

	Hi John, Very concerned to hear you did not receive thanks for your donation to BMPT. Please give me your full details to my email boats@bmpt.org.uk and I will immediately chase for you. The agm did happen, but still await the minutes...! As soon as these are to hand I will be doing a news letter. In the meantime we try to keep the web site News section intersting. 104 was withdrawn by the owners , having made the decision to break her up. She was far too gone to recover, and a move would probably have broken her. 331 is in the EISCA hangar in Oxford awaiting lottery etc. However many projects are in line and of course order has to be given to which to do first etc. She is completely safe, and in a climate controlled environment. Peruse all the past news letters for the full story. Please let me know about your donation, I apologise profusely for any short coming on the part of the trust in this regard. RichardBMPT.
