BB37 Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 There is a picture on Broads Tours website that shows the Cordon Rouge out of the water in their shed. On the back of the boat is say 'Grimsby', presumably that is where it was first registered, as it has twin engines. http://www.broadstours.co.uk/post.php?s=cordon-rouge-lifted-out#.WF6lwWenxhE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Springsong Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I don't know the definitive answer but Len Funell who owned Faircraft Loynes at the time she was introduced hailed from Grimsby so that might start to explain it. It was he of course who bought Broads Tours and moved them under the bridge from what are now the 24hour moorings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Might not mean anything, LBBY once had a diesel tank with Doncaster on it, or was that the pump out? Griff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 It was the diesel tank, I applied it during the dead of night. Left it there without saying a word to see how long it was before the staff noticed it. It was spare graphics we had left over from back in the day when 'B.A' had it on her transom Griff 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
