CAN SOMEONE HELP PLEASE? I WOULD LIKE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH KEN CROSSLEY ,THE MAN WHO MADE AND SHOWS THE RAF LAUNCH DISPLAY .I HAVE BEEN TOLD HE HAS A PHOTO  OF HERBERT WOODS YARD AT POTTER HEIGHAM DURING WARTIME WITH SOME ASR PINNACES IN BUILD, THIS IS OF GREAT INTEREST TO ME AS MY PINNACE 1255(MISTRA)WAS BUILT HERE ,SO I WOULD LOVE A COPY OF THE PICTURE AS MAYBE ONE OF THE LAUNCHES COULD BE MINE.

The photo appears in Vol II of the RAF Marine Craft Directory. The 4 pinnaces in the picture appear to all be GSPs. This publication mentions that 1255 was built as an ASR pinnace MKI (on charge 22-01-43) and later (1944) converted to a General Service Pinnace MKIIb, and renumbered 1411 so I think it is unlikely any of the boats in the photo are of your boat.
