Gray Malkin 1964. It's the only picture of the boat I have.

Great picture, the boat name takes me back to 1974 my GCE English Lit exam. The set book to study was Shakespeare's 'Scottish Play'! 'When shall we three meet again in thunder lightning or in rain .................I come Graymalkin: Paddock calls: Anon:'. Those witches and their opening pages have stuck in my mind forever

You too, only I did the study of the play nearly in it's setting, as I was at school in Inverness...

"This blasted heath" and all that . . . .

I'm not sure if this should go here, but this is the dinghy included with Gray Malkin 1964.

Woops. Older than I thought, just realised, I did my GCE 'O' Levels in 1967, obviously I was 'In the fog and swirling mist'

Page from 1963 Hoseseasons showing some of the houseboats moored on Oulton Broad.

3 are listed as ex Torpedo boats and one as ex Gun boat but they are all different lengths and beams. Perhaps somebody (Vaughan?) could enlighten me as to if the descriptions are correct.

The houseboat at the top of the page looks like one of the flat-afloats but I didn't think they were called that until quite a few years later. There is one listed at Wayford Bridge and one at Brundall.
