I have today received via my chairman the following information and asked to post on here : -
The following 6 boats were stolen from the home of a member of Blackburn & District Model Boat Club on Thursday night, 8 April 2020.
They are all painted and running (built by their 86 year old owner) and sailed regularly.
Billings no. 534 “Boulogne Etaples” fishing boat
Mountfleet “Highlander” puffer 1/24 scale

If you are offered any of these, or have any information on their whereabouts, please email the Blackburn Club at hmmwavemaster@btinternet.com or text or ring the Club chairman Chris Taylor on 07952 544970[/b]
