"Runaway"
is an Admiralty 45ft FMB(Fast Motor boat). There were some 58 of these built
between 1936
& 1945. Some
were built as 45ft FMB & Barge, others as 45ft Picket Boats, others as 45ft
Seagoing Motor Boats and finally some as 45ft Hospital Launches and Fire Boats. They
were two and three engined boats originally, some were used as VIP Boats and
Admirals barges and were carried on battleships. the
general arrangement of the 45ft Fast Sea Going Motorboat, though of course none
of your cabins may have been original. These
boats were built in two batches 1940/41 & 1943/4 by J.S White at Cowes This is
what ive been told about my boat that i have just rescued do you know if ive

glory Do you
