Sometimes one find particular gems of websites on the internet, often concerning British collector groups. Who are better to take care of their traditions than the British? I do not know! This website seems to be such a gem.

As a new member I ask permission to come aboard and hope to be able to contribute as well as to make use of the resources here. My interests can be found on my profile. I have for some time been on the lookout for a former naval vessel - a Little Ship! I am presently located in Sweden and there are quite a few of them around here, too. But, as you all well know, to find the precious balance between purchasing price and the expenses to uphold such a vessel is critical. Last year I almost acquired a lovely  vessel, a former Swedish minesweeper. It didn't come off and today I regret it very much. I have attached a picture. It illustrates generally what I am still looking for.

 

While I have recently written a book on Operation Sea Lion (you heard about that...:-)...I am not here to peddle my book but rather to seek further information on the period as I see a need for an even more detailed redux than my first edition. I have already found some useful information here - on MTB 71 and the S-boats.
