I recently bought a set of old Blueprint type plans for a TID tug. Interestingly it is armed with 2 five barred Pom-Poms, one foreside of the bridge, the other at the aft end of the accommodation. I think is may have been for US service. Certainly the US army used some TIDs in WWII at D Day etc. The plans are stamped Humber Ship Plans. Interestingly the drawer is John E Skin... (rest obliterated, maybe Skinner), 132 High Street, Southend, less than a mile from were I am sitting. Anyone have any information?
