Steve: Most interested in your seaplane tender and believe we can offer not only a home for it but display/restoration as part of a maritime heritage project. We are genuinely interested. ------------- pd228 |

Steve, I've spoken to 'Sunderlander' in the past and recommend him and his project. It will be great to see another one restored. Cheers ------------- Don Only a number, not even a name. How shall posterity hear of thy fame? |

Hi ASR1255, Great to see your post and pic, we have met at the yard, I do hope she can go to a good home and hopefully even be brought back to working order. Posted before about this, but for Mistral, which I would really like to see at some stage, is on the historic register? if so, might be worth applying for a grant from National Historic Ships, max £3000 or 75% of the cost of works. All the best,
