    It has occupied my little grey sells but to no avail yet. Where is the cargo manifest when you need it.

    Sensible discussion.

    Have you Identified the mystery object. I have come accross someone in Northumberland who has dived the wreck several times over the years.

    Good to hear you are getting better.

    I think this is a Fender and a Cross member kit for a Drops. Part Numbers Fender 2510996001857 and PK09349 for the kit.

    They are good at what they do.

    Thornycroft small vessel construction for the Navy seems to have been concentrated on the Thames at the Hampton Launch Works. Production of the fast and large vessels being at Southampton. Have you tried The Medusa Trust, they may have some information.

    You gave the overall length as 40 feet, If you have the measurement for the beam and moulded depth It may be possible to pinpoint the type and builder. I think at 40 feet that rules out a ships workboat.

    You probably will have to go bilge diving to find numbers on the keel. There will be some information deep down. Major bulkheads may reveal some information. Boat/shipbuilders, always leave there footprint. Its partly pride in their work. I think early pinnace power after steam was Perkins S6 and Thornycroft db2.

    It may just be me but just the hull construction does not look Thornycroft.. There were traditional boat builders building work boats for both harbour transport and warships, when these warships were disposed of the workboats were sometimes used on harbour duties. It will have an interesting history.

    Just a cursory look but it does not look like Thornycroft work. Possibly Mitchell, IoW.or Laurence, Leith. Good luck with your project.

    What a convoy Steam power and Fire Engines. Was your promotion because your welding is improving?
  17. john1950
    Even welding new aluminium in workshop conditions is not for the faint hearted.

    I am not even sure that they are spats we can see and not the tail cone of another Mossie.
  19. john1950
    In the Google shot it should be in plain view slightly left of the tail of TK 620. TK 620 seems to have been in service until 1957 when it is listed as SS 22-2-57.

    Where is the third aircraft?
  21. john1950
    I would contest the findings. Number of aerials on the wing in each picture, Fuel tanker type and fueling position.

    Google is one aid, sometimes it is not about the answer it is about the journey. Other information and reminiscences are sometimes priceless, its about being involved.
  23. john1950
    From the interpritation of many clues by many different brains will come the answer.
  24. john1950
    Have you tried squadron records
  25. john1950
    Any more pictures, we are greedy.
