H.F.M. Thames Barge
« on: May 28, 2025, 08:41:53 am »
Hi One & All
I am looking for a HFM Thames Barge to add to my collection of HFM boats, it does not have to be in a great condition.
If any one has one that they are wiling to sell, please contact me so that we can talk prices.
Thanks Fred

That's all right, Mr Ryan. My Morse is so rusty, I could be sending him dimensions on Playmate of the Month.

Used to be a manufacturer of boat kits, generally using vac formed hulls if I remember right.  Google "hfm model boats" there's lots of pictures.

Hi
Big Ada HFM as Ralph said was a small company from the 80/90s, it was set up by Harvey Frederick Middleton so H.F.M.
He had many types of boats in his range and as has been said all were vac Formed, it could be said that Harvey started the Club 500, as he did two fast electric boat in the same box, so that the farther and son/daughter could race each other.
At one point I helped Harvey out by building and sailing his models at the shows in the south for him.
I have two ORSV and the second Type 7, I would like to add  the Thames Barge to my small collection.

Good Evening Dodes
Thank you very much for your offer, I would very much like to take you up on it, would it be asking to much of you if you could post it to me at my cost? 
I will D/M you with the address.
I an sorry that I have not got back to you sooner, it's just that I am in Hospital to have my Gallbladder removed, I hope to be out soon.
