Google Earth.

Re "the gray boat" It looks a bit slab sided, no taper stem to stern to be of interest on the other hand it is grey!

What are the Coordinates of the grey boat please.

Someone mentioned Pounds scrapyard (I bet there's a fair few people who'd pay for a tour of that place), there's nothing good on google earth, HMS handy and the 1902 steamer Vigilant look to be visible, oh and a listing submarine location is 50°49'39.91"N   1° 5'29.32"W, just to the south east of that floationg crane looks to be vigilant, then HMS handy looks to be the last before the Motorway, or on the other side may also be her? Unfortunatley the quality is very variable, cars etc can easily be seen in major cities but get to more remote locations, even to see Gay Archer is impossible (I've just realised that she may not have been there when the pictures were taken but she wouldn't be visible)

Hello,

Regards the Google business, HMC and E cutter Vigillant is now at Faversham Creek in Kent, moved toward end of last year, boat at Reedham should be MTB 102, based at Newsons yard now, could be 81 but I don't think so, last heard on hard standing on the Solent.

Hi all!

 Seems i opened a can of worms here with the whole google earth thing.

 Just for clarification i checked out my hometown being a nosey git. The only trace i found of myself was an old capri i scrapped in early 2001 parked at the flat i left in late 2001. However my old racing yatch is bang up to date 10mls up the road as the cover only blew off it in november

  I dont want to put a downer on any finds you make on google earth but it varies greatly from town to town. Basically its not on your screen in realtime but its definately worth mentioning your finds as what you saw in a creek on a 5yr old picture could be overgrown by trees now but the boats still there. Maybe it isnt but who knows until someone has a proper look??

 Its not a certainty but its definatley another feather in our cap!
