About 5 months ago i recieved a phone call from by daughter saying that one of her work colleages had a model boat in the loft they did not want. A couple of months later and daughter is driving down to visit with the boat in the car.
This boat is the Vosper Thornycroft RTTL range target towing launch and it must have been made in the 50's or 60's. Its a lovely piece of work all in wood and was powered with an old taycol electric motor with a set up for straight running.
Now it's equiped with a probably too large brushless motor but i can always throttle back. Twin radio controlled rudders and had a repair and repaint session and is now looking good but still original hopefully. The pictures show before including the taycol motor and after the refit.
