A sad loss indeed. Oddly I knew Brian and both the boys and Peter I have known for more than forty years but I never met Jill.
RIP Jill

Morning Robert
After a bit of hunting here is the only photo I have of Norvic taken moored outside my uncle and aunts house at Irstead.
We used to cause all kinds of problems when mooring three boats or even four at times on their front.. Far too much to do at age 16 to worry about photos. That incidentally is a very young me on the fore deck.
Parents in those days used to hire Landamores although as we started hiring our own boats they started using Baltimore from Moores.

Fortunately do not have to attend the Norfolk & Norwich hospital very often but I always try to arrive at least I hour early, luckily I had brought the dept. telephone number with me as I waited an hour and a quarter to get parked . Luckily I had brought the dept. telephone number with me. so phoned them .

Safety equipment. I don.t think anyone has mentioned fire extinguishers . on a 37' boat I think a minimum of three maybe four and a fire blanket in the galley. As for types maybe refer to the BSS manual.

In my dubious experience if you read most varnishes claim to have this or that oil in their makeup. The crucial point is the preparation of the wood. So I can see no problem in putting varnish on oil but not oil on varnish.

My apologies if you already know this but the fibre glass hulled boats were either Aqua Fibre or Broom 37 hulls. one of the hire boats was stolen off the Broads and found ( if memory serves ) inBurnham on Crouch . So they were capable of coastal passages even the North Sea or Channel.

It's odd isn't it how Kenneth Moore looks more like Douglass Bader than Douglass Bader does.

The nearest I got to Douglas Bader was the drivers seat of his TD21 Alvis.
Barnes Wallis one of his bombs and the testing chamber at Brooklands
Chelsea never heard of them. The Busby Babes rule ok.
Sir Stirling Moss once at Silverstone some sixty years ago and again at the festival of speed in the early nineties.
and what an honor that was.

Floydraser I think you are entirely wrong.I was on the support boat which was also second camera boat. They were quite lovely people and in fact enjoyed it so much they gave up their hotel room to stay on the boat.We all ate with them every night, they were very professional and often put in 10 or 11 hour days baring in mind they are both well into their eighties,and pru having dementure
Timothy drove the boat at all times from the fly bridge .Pru had her mooring parts stage managed for obvious reasons, their daughter was also on board taking care of her mothers make up and wardrobe . All in all a very pleasant few days with an insight into TV program filming . edit to add they loved the way people waved to them when passing on the river.

I discussed landamores numbering with Craig a few years ago. We both had a photo of lets say Vestella 2 each photo showed a different number. Also with Vestas' they built maybe 14 but the oldest which were sold off were maybe nos'7 through 12. the others had their numbers were changed to maked a consecutive run. I hope that makes xense.

At one time while in my ownership it was going up in price to the tune of £ i1000.00 every month.. After some 18 months with the engine out awaiting a rebuild I was offered £ 33000.00 an offer I couldn't refuse so off she went for a total body off restoration. She is now painted red which tome is a shame as there were only ever 5 painted in the Dino blue in RHD.
