The beautiful (20) pictures accompanying this Ebay listing which I did not notice (#230643787807) ended on 13-Jul-11 22:38 are now deleted.
Has anybody saved this listing with the pictures?
These could be for me a precious reference for the refurbishment of my Isis.
The seller asked me GPB 249,00 for them!
No comment.

I'm sorry if you have tried this but did you know you can contact the seller
click on this link
http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/000simcam000/
on the left under the picture, it says "Items for sale" Add to favorite" & "Contact the seller"
he may be able to send you the pictures
good luck
Alan

Alan,
thank you.
I have contacted the seller of this Isis launch and he wants GBP 249,00 for the pictures.
I have contacted the buyer of this Isis launch and he did not reply.

The "waybackmachine" might be worth a try - http://www.archive.org/ , one problem might be finding where the pictures were hosted though if not on eBay's own hosting service.
There's also some eBay data mining tools on this page that may bring results - http://www.toolhaus.org/.
Best of luck

Hi MOG8
I'm sorry the owner was no helpfull
Is the Stuart "isis" the boat or the engine?
Are you restoring the boat the engine or both?
is this the boat you mean, but as a model?

Alan,
this is my STUART "ISIS" one metre steam launch: built in the 30s by Stuart Turner, it is powered by a STUART "STAR" Engine.

Thanks Mog8
I did ask Model Boat magazine if they had any info on this but they said no.
sorry I can't help you.
