BroadAmbition Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Hi, This photo has been sent to us but we are struggling to make out the registration number. The photo was taken in 1974. Could it be our very own Star Supreme 1? TIA Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrundallNavy Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Looks to have a hard top. Was BA ever fitted with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted February 1, 2022 Author Share Posted February 1, 2022 In her early days - we believe so Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LizG Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 The registration number only looks 2 figure. That isn't correct is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 It should be four figures R641 through to R646. JP on the Star Supremes had a habit of putting the reg numbers on the cabin side up Fwd between two windows Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broads01 Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I would say the digit on the right looks more like a 1 than anything between 2 and 6 but I can't say for certain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 I would say that you have a case of "Instamatic one lens fits all" . Hell of alot of it about back then! I have tried on my editor but can't make it out. The slightest enlargement sends it very out of focus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatingman Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 When originally built Star Supreme's did have a hard top we hired R642 in it's first season that had a hard top 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted February 2, 2022 Author Share Posted February 2, 2022 From when I have seen any of the Star Supremes over the past years, all of them currently sport a hard top. Goodnight Irene (Now based in Potter Heigham) has both! Griff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes have been playing with a photo editor most of the day to try getting a sharper version and the best view I have seen all day is the original. Agree it is a 1 rather than anything else in the sequence of Supremes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Hi, If it's two digits it more likely to be the later sister boats Star Victor's E11-E13 or Star Magna D31/D32 and less likely D213 based on Craig's list Neil 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadAmbition Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Yes have been playing with a photo editor most of the day to try getting a sharper version and the best view I have seen all day is the original. Thanks for trying all the same Griff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldgregg Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 I'd say it was two digits ending with a one, but what the first digit is I really couldn't say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
