Hi all,
Some very good news! Western Lady III (Fairmile B RML497) has come home to Torbay having been saved from impounding at Poole and looks like she may now have a more secure future.
More information here ...

Hi,
Western Lady IV (RML526) was sold to a private owner (a member of this forum) who has converted her to an itinerant live-aboard. She now looks very close to original above decks but I believe has been extensively modified below.
Regards,
Steve.

Sorry, it just dawned on me that what you actually asked was "where" ...
As far as I know, she's still based at Millbrook on the Tamar.
Regards,
Steve.

Good afternoon , johnk. We have corresponded before, I am the bloke who collected the Freshwater for Herbert Jennings many years ago. The other week I had a look at one of my old vessels Pride of the Dart which is now in a hell of a state, also WL No1 out in the mud with some of her starboard side rotted away. Have a look at newsdesk@heraldexpress.co.uk (Bygones) or www.thisissouthdevon.co.uk tuesday 14Th pictures of River Lady paying off 1945 and other Fairmiles in war time . If you are unable to open the pictures I can send them to you Regards John.A.
