Rebuild Project Manager William Collard sends me this nice picture of the Motor Torpedo Boat MTB 102 moored alongside ‘us’ at Gravesend. You will recall that MTB 102 led the Flotilla of boats on Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant day. Being an important historic vessel, 102 naturally has a big write up on the internet including a very full section in Wikipedia at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTB_102 from construction by Vosper Thornycroft, through wartime service, post war activity, decline and then restoration. There are a million and one impressive images available on https://www.google.ie/search?q=MTB102&hl=en&rlz=1C1DVCH_enGB423&prmd=imvns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=rWhdUO2KLorDhAeBp4CIBw&ved=0CCsQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=916

and she has her own website at http://www.mtb102.com/ . This has the latest news, newsletters, programme of events in which she will be involved, more lovely images, technical information, lists of sponsors and much much more detail.

Happy Hunting
