	Hi All, Some later photos of my little ST. I've had replacement copies of the (mild steel) fuel and (aluminium) water tanks made. Planking just about completed but needs a few hundred more roves below the waterline . Internal fitout will begin next hopefully. Photos are at: www.rania.co.uk/boat%20photos/ST/Workinprogress3/ Regards Don Edited by Pioneer

	Agreed. Nice doggy too, and if I had one of those ancient Gold Wings and it got stuck in a rut I'd leave it there too! Will she look like an Imperial Airways ST when finished Don?

	Thanks for kind comments.... I thought I'd put a picture of the doggy too keep up the interest of any wives/girlfriends who found themselves lost on these pages -lol. Agreed, the Gold Wing looks a little sad but will run again. Don't worry, I've got an old BSA WM20 (project), an M21 and an A7 ( all garaged!!). No room for the Wing yet. I'm planning to have her in pre-war RAF colours. Black hull, white/lt grey cabin roofs and decks and varnished cabin sites. Perhaps a small roundel but no service number as that, if it ever existed, isn't known. Regards Edited by dgray

	She's gonna look gorgeous. Just kidding about the 'Wing, I'm a bike nut too, love all bikes. The flat four on yours will never go wrong, bulletproof.

	Don, I notice from your pics that your 40 footer is missing the broad external doubler strake - if there are no signs of it ever being fitted then I doubt if she was RAF as all had this strake. I also noticed 2753s history on your database, did I send this or did it come from someone else? My old brains not what it used to be.
	FAIR WINDS AND A FAVOURABLE TIDE Donald

	Hi Donald, We've stripped the side back to bare planking in those photos. I apologise for my ignorance but I'm not sure what you mean by "broad external doubler strake". She looked similar to the boat http://www.rania.co.uk/boat%20photos/ST/OtherSeaplaneTenders /st1622.jpg Is there a picture of this feature on one of the boats on http://www.rania.co.uk/boat%20photos/ST/OtherSeaplaneTenders / ? I'm having a bit of a 'senior day' here. Where is 2753s history on the site? Kind Regards Don

	Hi Don The history is on this page; http://www.rania.co.uk/boat%20photos/ST/RTTLAlbum/index2.htm l row 4 column 2. My fault, Donald had given this to Dad and I'd pinched it and copied it, then chatted to you about the boat and had sent it to you at that time. The external doubler strake is what grown-ups call the hull belts, not worn by your ex Sea-Monarch or Imp. Airways ST.
