Hmm, well at least it looks like someone might be interested.. Interesting that four of the boats are back in their element again racing. that is an improvement over being stuck in a static museum.
But what concerns me is the Library. Will that stay together? It has a lot of plans, some of which I have copied (ilegally, but I knew this would happen).
Basildon was never a sensible place to put the Museum. Nobody round there could give a hoot for it. It was shabby in the extreme and never exactly fussy about its exhibits, but it was somewhere to go to get info on a lot of motor boat history.
Now, unless it goes almost in toto to a new Museum or an existing one with spare space, it will be lost for ever and nobody seems to care very much.
I asked Steve Mills for Whippet plans and he sent me to the Museum! So he didn't even know they'd been thrown away (the museum, that is).
Anybody got a set of Whippet 1 1/2 Litre plans I could borrow?
Regards,
Vintagent
