It looks as though this one has stumped everyone, sadly.

the reason I was asking was that he produced some very inovative gear for his 3/4 lifeboat hulls, and after talking to Dave Metcalf this moring it seams that the chappy might have "crossed the bar" some years ago, as he passed on some of his moulds before leaving the business which was called P.M.S. ( Period Model Shipwrights).

Possibly left some moulds to the "Model Boats, MAP organisation as one of his boats was a hull for a 3/4 " set of moulds for a (I think) Barnett class Mk2 Lifeboat

However, does anyone remember or recognise any of these boats being supplied by any other company in the last 20 odd years, as there are two particular sets of fittings that I am interested in for future builds.

If anyone does remember or recognise any of these old boats and the fittings (especially the Hotchkiss cone mechanism for the Thomas Kirk Wright, and the water pump system for the Duke of Northumberland) that are shown in his "catalogue" please let me know.
cheers,

neil.

Neil,
Not that sure but if you have a look in Models By Design.
I think Martins Models produced some hulls.
