Hi everybody.

A friend of mine has recently bought a 45ft Refueller that has been converted to live in. He's asked me to find some info and a good picture of his type of boat in its former glory but unfortunately I'm having no luck. Can anybody here help?

As far as I know it is a 45ft Refueller that was made by Vosper and was delivered to the RAF in 1938. Further infomation that I have suggests the boat is a V-Drive Mark 1 and that there are only 9 left in the UK as the remainder were sold in the far east. We have checked the boat for any clues to its number but found nothing, however, these are the Vosper yard numbers the boat could be... 1767-1777.

This is the best picture I have of a Mark 3 which is also made by Vosper

Any help would be appreciated.
