Dear Tubby tomo,

I've just looked at one of the films listed - this is indeed an excellent site with lovely old film. I particularly liked the one showing the steam trawlers coming back into Yarmouth. Very inspiring for the modelling don't you think?

All the best polobeer  ;)

Worth pointing out that  many of these are of Driters too. Very interesting to see the clutter on deck, and that they mostly operate wth foremast down. Going to be interesting to hear the comments at the lake when  I do that.
