HMS Grey Goose

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Houseboat "ANSERAVA" - ex SGB 9 - ex HMS Grey Goose - an immaculate conversion as seen late January 2006. The provenance of this unique craft really needs to be briefly outlined once again - it was, from new, under the command of Sir Peter Scott - Naturalist, Artist and Author. Was chosen, post WW2, to be the first Gas Turbine powered craft in the World, proving the viability of GT propulsion for Marine use.
