Derby Winners Class

Di David,

Congratualtions with your new boat "Hyperion". I was always very interested in the Hyperion and always had the opportunity to buy such a wonderfull boat. Especially the history about such a boat is interesting. That's why I have been searching for (original) pictures of the Hyperion at the internet. Especially pictures of the ship at the D-day days. But those are not to find in thousands of the ships. That is why I found the pics above at the site of the Wircormar Harbour in Portmouth 1 year ago (so I don't know the exact date of the pictures). I still have 3 extra of those pictures. I can upload them if you prefer. I suppose it is the "Hyperion" because the picture name was Hyperion.

Maybe you can inform Wicormar for more information of the ship (the pictures are not available at their website anymore).

I am interested in pictures of the "Humorist" as well. The Derby Class Winners is a wonderfull family of ships. I am glad that you are happy with it and also that there comes more pictures avalable of it (and the sister ships)

Kind regards Willem-Jan

Whats the latest news regarding 'Blue Peter'?

Hola Jesus

Encantado conocerle- me imagino que su foto ha sido tomada en Ceuta en los anos 70 (mi padre tiene casi la misma foto) . Que sepamos nosotros ya no existe el Grand Parade, pero no tenemos la menor idea de lo que a sucedido despues de servir como patrullera- sabes algo de esto? Es posible que todavia esta en Ceuta? Voy a buscar mas fotos, es posible que mi padre tiene mas en su casa.

Sorry to be rude everyone else, out of politeness to our latest member I thought I'd put my second language to use. I am asking Jammes for any information on Grand Parade after she served as a Spanish patrol boat, as we have no idea what became of her or indeed whether she still survives.

Un saludo muy cordial,

Christian.
