Mark, very interesting.. would love to know more 🙂

yes.. and a great site it is too. the cockpitfest site.. one of my faves. but there are many dealers with relics, parts to offer, salvage dealers too, who do not use the site.
i know its a big undertaking.. but have you seen the milweb set up, look at say deactivated guns in the classifieds, helmets etc, they change almost daily.. and its become one of the main sites to atract people who collect miltaria, as they also have most of the dealers details online too

it seems really a purely for sales, and wants website , from a t55 tank to a set of spanners,

it was just a idea, good or bad.. is crossed my mind from time to time 🙂

problem is , they are huge, the gay class pictured above, has a 20 ft width, and 75ft length.

its cost him his home , he sold that so he could get this boat done, its a small fortune, and thats by doing all or most of the work himself, and a small team,

i noticed another MTB in the river By exeter last night coming home from work, but i thinks she is a later model,..there was a museum in southampton, the british powerboat trust, sadly, they were closed down and moved on,
but alot of there relics still survive, notably a PT boat at duxford :D.

i nearly got hold of one myself, a seaplane tender, at 42ft length, in a terrible state, but i left a letter on her deck, but shortly after she was broken up.. i never even got a call :(…. this was about 4 years ago
