Hello everybody, I am trying to satisfy my curiosity in regard to a Gibraltar based MTB/MGB vessel, that I fitted some communications equipment to in approx 1968. The vessel was an aluminum framed steel hull, reputedly Italian built (Baglietto?), re-engined with three 12cyl Packard petrol engines and probably decommisioned by one of the Baltic countries (the radio cabin had notices in Nordic script, o-slash etc) There were two of these beautiful vessels, one decommisioned on a slip, and the other recently re-engineered and just ready for sea trials. I believe that the surname of the operators was "Victory". I have an idea that the older one was called "Lucky Lady" I would love to know the history of these vessels, and perhaps, their fate. Does anybody know of these boats? I know it was a long time ago, but they were remarkable vessels for a commercial operator. They must have attracted a lot of attention in their day.
Thanks for any information that anybody can offer,
Phill.
