...Hi Guys...
I have just returned from a short holiday in the Berwick Upon Tweed area and would like some information on a vessel that i saw in Eyemouth harbour...
She is called ST OSWALD and is a Fisheries Patrol Vessel...
I would like to build a model of this vessel so plans & pictures would come in handy...
...Best Regards...Norry...

Nice looking vessel Norry, I like the Rib on the stern ramp.

Norry - just a short vid here from you tube of her down on the Tyne. Regularly see her off the coast
but she hasn't been into Amble yet that I am aware.
