Which particular Vosper is it Andy...???
It is a nice looking model but as you can appreciate they built several MTB'S...the old Map Plans catalogue had quite a few listed and some are still available although they do come under nexus publications now, might be worth having a look at their plans list to identify it (there are pics with a lot of them) and at least you can search for more info from there.

Regards.....Mark

Hi Andy,

Is there a small pennant number painted on the hull near the bow or is that just a makrk of some sort?

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris
no that is just a mark on the bow, I have been told it might be an old Veron kit

Okay Andy, try this one,

Unfortunately I could'nt get the page to open this evening, but try a Google search for John Lambert Plans and go to his home page. John is a mine of info on Thorneycroft designs, and includes several sets of plans of said boats. He may be able to point you in the right direction.

Cheers Chris I have tried Johns site but like you I was unable to open the site up I'll keep trying

Hi Andy,

You could also try a email message to Al Ross, co-author of Allied Coastal Forces with John Lambert.

Email address is [email address]

May I suggest first yoask if he may be able to help then possibly send a copy of the last picture you posted here.

Regards

Marine Modelling mag recently reported that since John Lambert moved base his web site was down (temporarily) and thus problem in logging on. Suggest phoning him on new number of 01525 402005. He's very approachable!
