Hi All.....Here are a few photo,s of my latest project the Steam Trawler Marinda FD 155......Launched in 1945 at the yard of J. Lewis & sons  Aberdeen for the Fleetwood firm J. Marr & sons. In 1950 she was sold to South Africa and fished there until 1968 when she was sold to the South African navy, stripped of all useable parts and non-ferrous metals and used as a target ship....Rod

And very nice it is too 


I love the lines of the post war sidewinders.
