  10. Vaughan thanks so much for the pictures and information.My father in law was on MTBs during the war, out of Lowestoft.I always remember him telling me about the speed of our boats as against the slower German steel boats.We had to avoid a fire fight with them as they were easily holed and had to go below and place mattresses against the bullet holes to stop the water coming in.Despite being a non swimmer, he survived 3 sinking ,being hit by mines in the North Sea,saved by his life jacket.

  17. Hi Vaughan, well this brought back memories,when my Dad took me to the boat show at Earls Court to see the new HW boat Silver Light.Sliding centre cockpit woody,and of course you could clamber all over it to see if you liked it.We did and booked it for the following Summer,a wonderful boat,and i suppose its like hiring one of todays "gin palaces".Although a lot smaller! Regards Kevin
