Just seen posts on the above, at least appears to be afloat but quite a task to sort out I imagine.

Hi All just back from Malta and came across this boat sitting in a yard, can you tell me about these boats. I remember seeing these as a kid moored up in the harbour, two of the smaller ones survived one Gozo and as pictured below also two HSL's were in Marsa for a long time. Ten years ago I got permision to get on board one of the original HSL's for some pics but too late! she was broken up by being lifted with chains out of the water. Will post some pics of her sister ips hull next week.

 bye for now Grigal UK

Hi Grigal,

Great pics, I think Billy who was working on the 506 also got a shot of her through the fence as well
