Helian Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 I can't see anyone mentioning R&C Bondon at South Walsham. Whilst I didnt' hire from them, Ray build my fathers' boat (an Elysian - Norfolk Spitfire - still on the Broads) in about 1971. I hired a Hampton (can't remember its name) solo from Royalls in the early 1980s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

140153 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 I'm pretty sure it was named Royal Escort. Yes there were 3 Escorts I think with grey tops and a Consort - the orange top one.
