The original pictures showing them moored alongside with the Bridge structure in the background were taken several years ago - since then, one at least, had been moved and restored - as Philip Simons and Christian has ID', it was/is? for sale as Sea Stallion, not sure what happened to the other as yet.

Everyone,
        Saw the stream about the 50kt boats with the 3 x RR engines. As a serving naval officer with a ACPB/FCPB past, and seeing attempts to convert such to charter boats etc, the inabililty of of private enterprise to cope with the (taxpayer funded) engineering requirements of military craft tells now and will always be a problem. We should be glad if they exist as houseboats!

Hi Peter,

 

Indeed, posted before on this, as a last resort as opposed to scrapped, a houseboat is better than nothing!
