Hi All Popped down to Dauntless Boatyard in Canvey Island today, I was looking around after taking some pics of a mates boat and found RTTL 2745 (assuming the number was correct of course)! Shes in a pretty sad state, looks like her back is broken, rather surprising is that the superstructure looks pretty original. Pics below, I also took some pics of what looks like a seaplane tender, I'll post these on the seaplane section.     ------------- Only yield when you must, never "give up the ship," but fight on to the last "with a stiff upper lip!" |

Hello Barncle! Thanks for the link, if I had thought to look on my own bookmarks list I would have found it!! Very nice site you have, feel free to use those pics, I have some others, I think you should be able to access my other photobucket albums by clicking on the pic and following the "image info". Use any of the boat pics you like. Mark ------------- Only yield when you must, never "give up the ship," but fight on to the last "with a stiff upper lip!" |

Hi Marksaab
I was notified that you sent me a private message but I am denied access to it for some reason. It is the first time I have received a message so perhaps I am doing something wrong. There does not seem to be provision to "sign in" to the forum now that I am a member, but there must be!
I will try again tomorrow to see your message.
Cheers
Brian

Hello Brian
You have to be 'Signed In' to read Private Messages. The 'automatic' e-mail you receive from the web site is really just notification that you have a mail - by clicking the URL in the e-mail will not open the mail if you are not 'Signed In'.

 I spent two happy years on 2745 when she was at 1100 MCU Alness from 1955 to 1957. Steve Wood and I were two lucky National Servicemen to be sent to Alness as untrained Motor BoatCrew. Fifty five years later Steve and I are both living in Cornwall and we work together as drivers for the local BMW dealership. I am also in touch with Brian Mutton who was a fitter on 2745 and Mike Moore who was a radio operator. It was such a happy time and we would love to hear from any other old mates of that time. Brian Mutton who lives in Queensland now, is in the process of publishing a book of his Marine Craft experiences. ex LAC Pete Ramsey.
