Hi everyone
Myself Sharon and my husband Richard are in the process of buying a WW2 heritage boat.
She is called Lady Sybil H - she was built in 1932 by Harland & Wolfe, Belfast, yes the same company that built the Titanic.
We know her boat number during the War was 26, as during restoration the plate was visible.
I found a photo online on the following page that shows a Pinnace in the War with the same number 26
see the link to that page here

I contacted the Forces War Records, their response was that they are given lots of photos so can not say if this is her or not !!!!
We have seen many images online of other Pinnace's with numbers like 17, 25.. etc
Would a boat have kept the same number, would there have been other boats with the same number ... I hope you guys can help us in our research.
Any further history of this type of boat would be appreciated
thank you all
