"Miscellaneous" Craft. - 24 Boats. ( 30 Photos.).
I have tried to place these photos into some form of order and to keep them together in their "Classes".
Most of the photos in this section are by courtesy of Mr. Mark Teadham.
My
thanks also to Cdr. Simon Brown R.N. for information, shown in brackets, against
a ships name showing its "Class",
and also again to Mr. Tim Parr for
the information concerning boats No.15 through to No. 21.
These
craft, with the prefix "Rcb" against their No.s., indicates that they
were converted for use as "Radio Controlled Boats" and were used as
"Bombing Targets".
An ingenious part of their design was the steel
deck being held by "Shear Pins" to the hull which, in the event of
damage to the vessel,
would break and allow the complete deck and superstructure
to fall away thus saving the hull,
which had been provided with extra buoyancy,
and its engines.
Tim
is happy to have his e-mail address displayed here, so, if there is anything you
would wish to talk to him about
concerning any of the craft shown in these
sections, feel free to drop him a line from the e-mail link below:-
