Worst MV purchase

[Marc Montgomery]

Yeah, I saw a couple of YFPs for sale on crown assets just last year..tempting, but as I haven't won the lottery...tempting is all they were...
Anyone see the Top Gear show where they were touring an ex soviet satellite Romania (?) and accidently came across an abandoned air base with jets just sitting there. abandoned..

Hi Marc. About Blue Heron...my guess is that she was most likely broken up or had sunk where she was anchored. At the time, a Taxi driver was using her as a live aboard and she was anchored in a small cove just outside Halifax. She was stripped of most equipment but all the finished wood/teak paneling, bunks and ladders were still there. Fuel and fresh water tanks were also still in place. Prop shafts were still there but without props and had been cut just ahead of the glands/fitting that allowed passage thru the hull. Engines, funnel/smoke stack and other metal fittings were known to be at a local scrapyard.

That's cute, it shows on the aerial imagery but when you go to Streetview it isn't there.

Thanks Charlie

Shape is right, size is about right....guess it wasn't there when they did the drive-by.

Unfortunately the project fell through and the Fairmile Q-105 got scrapped. Apparently there were a number of problems with the project management and funding. Lots of grand intentions that just did not seem to work out.
