Hi Jamie,
Sorry, don't have anything on this one, but looks a nice and tidy craft.

Hi John,
Mystery to me as well, think she was built approx 1982 but could also be 1978 for the RN, she has all her lifting brackets and original RN equipment still onboard. Twin MAN engines and she goes up to 28 knots easily. Its possible she was designed to be launched from destroyers or frigates as she has special trimming tanks as well. Other than that she seems to have been based in North Berwick for a while until we bought her and run her out of Dalgety Bay. Hopefully someone out there can fill in a few gaps,
Shes a lovely craft though and in great condition.
Cheers
Jamie

Hello Babcock Disposals had one of these for sale about two years ago. It was being used by the Naval Provosts and had Police type reflective markings on it. I think I have a photo of it somewhere - will look and upload if I have. |
