Hi I am trying to locate plans or drawings for this class of RAF launch. I think it is a Mk 3 rescue target towing launch. I am willing to pay for copies or even a small scale photo of the plans. In particular the plan view. In other words HELP!.

Cheers Chris Monk.

Models by Design do plans for this lovely boat. HMAFV Sterling 4001.

Yes that's where I got mine and very nice they are to.
Cheers Chris.

I'm considering another hull, a pair on the water together would be fantastic.

Christian does them in 1/72 I believe.

These are superb hulls but are semi-displacement and as such should be ballasted to keep the bow down to get the full effect and speed.
I used to look after these craft for MoD and oversaw refits of almost all of this class.
The Spitfire being a real oddball.

Reading about the Spitfire I'm surprised she was taken on.  I run a model as the Halifax, based in Holyhead and I was lucky to go out with her twice on dingy sea drill's. I use a pair of Graupner 700's and she does not need ballast. as she has one 12v 7amp battery.
