I HAVE A PHOTO OF THE BOAT BUT DON`T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT- CAN ANYONE HELP?MY WIFE AND HER FAMILY MOVED UP TO LINCS FROM KENT IN 1976,I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO GET SOME INFO FOR HER AND HER DAD WHO STILL HAS BOATS NOW. I AM VERY INTERESTED IN WW2 AS MY FAMILY COMES FROM THE AREDENNES IN BELGIUM WHICH SAW SOME VICIOUS FIGHTING DURING THE WINTER OF 1944 I OFTEN VISIT BELGIUM AND LIKE TO HEAR THE STORIES WHICH MY UNCLES AND AUNTS TELL ME-ONE CAN`T IMAGINE WHAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE FOR EVERYONE DURING WW2 - WE HAVE A LOT TO THANK THEM FOR - BUT PEOPLE DON`T SEEM TO RECOGNISE THIS WHICH IS A GREAT SHAME.THANX FOR READING WILL HAVE MORE STORIES SOON.
