Humber is now sitting in the middle of the MTB102 Trust/Newsons boat shed and is ready for a complete paint removal and repaint. There are a few small repairs to do and the two new engines are sitting beside her ready for fitting.
If there are any of you out there interested in being involved with this project, which only takes effort and the cost of travelling, then get in touch. You don't have to be an expert, you only need be keen to see historic vessels floating and working.
Once the vessel is back in the water you get the chance to be part of the team that gets to play with it. This applies to MTB102 and ST377(Zeta) as well.
What are you waiting for?
 
Richard.

The MTB102 Trust has an original Rivers Class fast launch cradle now surplus to requirements. On iron wheels and would only need slight modification to be used by any 40-45ft hard chine hull boat. For price and removal contact mtb102trust@btconnect.com. This is a very rare piece of kit these days so if it is of interest to you jump quick.
