Do you have any photos of your model Guy? I work on the Thames and maybe able to help you with a few bits
that would be great, the images and reference i have leave alot to be desired !
the model iis still in build, so still got alot of work to do.. the vessel was the ex- dorset police launch, its built on the lochin 33 GDSV hull ( brede lifeboat)- it was re engined in 1995 and then stationed on the thames as part of the marine support unit from wapping...
i will pm you, i have an image of the boat from about 1998 on the thames- i can send it across to you then so you can take a look, sadly the boat was decomissioned a while ago so imformation is sketchy to say the least !
i can find out a fair bit on when it was with the dorset force, but the trail goes fairly cold when it moved to the Met !
thanks for your help
