Paul Bradley Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 (edited) Top build, Kev! I hope you don't mind. I have been reading old Aeroplane magazines recently, and I discovered this ad in an August 1945 issue: Note the pennant number of the MTB...... So, I did this: I can send you a large size file of the ad if you want to play around with it. Edited August 5, 2015 by Paul Bradley 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longshanks Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 Wow !! I wasn't expecting that Paul, nice bit of ' Trickery ' there mate. I would love to have a copy of the file. I will PM you my email address Thank you Paul for taking the time to do the above Cheers Kec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Thats a cracking dio of this boat. I think I might just like the B & W photos best, they are so like some of the pictures in my treasured copy "Battle of the Narrow Seas" by Peter Scott. Either ways, its a bit super. Steve.
