I bought this lovely boat on Sunday from Ebay

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140414295298&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

I cannot find anything about it, though the previous owner says it is still on the Thames. I have searched the internet for hours with no results at all, not even on Google images. It looks like a Trawler but has too many cabin windows and not enough rigs. I have the photo of the original, which is on the front of the model.
Anyone help with this please?
Thanks
Graham

Graham,
Try googling RMAS Appleby.
Or 75 Foot Fleet Tenders.

Wow that was quick. Thanks I will try that and let you know.

That's great. I have learnt more in 3 minutes than I did in 5 hours last night. It was the RMAS that I was missing, so getting nowhere. I have 3 photos and know it's purpose as a support vessel for the Royal Navy.
Thanks a lot for the info. Really appreciate it.
Regards
Graham
