Hi Colm,
Ah, bit of a surprise to see your post...is yours the one once owned by a Greek sea captain?...was on sale for years on Apollo Duck if so but...great to see her with you now, if I am correct...yes good old PR22, now at Ramsgate with a new owner, the couple who had her.....well they don't own her now...obviously...they restored her fully and also lived aboard for many years...she was built between 1949 and 1952, exact date was not clear, for the US forces till taken on by the new German army post 1955...till around the seventies, made long journey from Scotland to the south of England,the River Medway, Kent, then to this couple early 2000's...if you try "Fluss pioneer corps" not sure it will work with my spelling, sorry, but article was on there with pictures...perhaps this was better as a private message! so will stop, all the best,
Johnk
