Hi Don and Alex

Lewina is ex ML 1305, a HDML launched in May 1943 by Woods.She was originally fitted with Gardner 8L3s but was refitted with GMs of 1942 vintage.  She is lying at Medway Bridge and was converted back to her current original guise (see her as she was a couple of years back on the nhsc site) very recently, and already changed ownership late 2005. She has retained her current name since 1947 when she sold out of charge.

If you search as you have been but with max length set at 120ft you will also find Fairmiles and Ham class minesweepers, there are usually quite a few good finds on yachtworld as I am sure you already found the other HDML Montecristo,the Miamis,the Fairmiles,the GSP in Vancouver,the 2 UK MTBs and several US crashboats, subchasers and Wheelers.

Regards,Christian.
