Spotted! on the Clyde....

Post by penfold1 »

a Huntsman or mebbe a Huntress(couldn't get a good look as was driving at the time), with blue cockpit coamings and hull. It was razzing about enjoying the sunshine on Loch Long about 2 weeks ago. I'd have posted sooner but too busy. Anybody going to claim responsibility for raising the Clyde population of Faireys?

cheers,
David

Think I might be the guilty party. Protector was berthed at Rhu between beginning of May and 7th June. Also in Rhu is Marie Louise, another H28, but with white superstructure.

Have now taken Protector up to Craobh Haven, which is 400yds from the pier that featured in From Russia with Love. Vague resemblance of Protector to original baddies boats has not been lost on the locals.......just need a machine gun for the bow, and one of those splendid hats....

There's a pic of Protector on the Royal Thames Website...see the West of Scotland Rally pics.

Penfold, assume you are in Scotland too? You can reach me via peterdmnowell@aol.com

Ah......Penfold. You'll know all about Marie Lousie then (whoops). Sorry we missed each other in the harbour. Are you planning a trip North?

It would be a delight to meet up with any FOC members on the West coast. Just let me know if you're passing...
