Amazing boat! Hope alls well with the editor of these videos as it's nearly a decade since last upload, would love to see part 4!

[@AdventuresofanoldSeadog]

I live in Plymouth and have seen the boat. Great job guys. It's nice to see history being kept alive like that.

[@TwistedMinds69]

people who restore these and have every piece of equipment at there disposal are OK. The ones who do the same and improvise methods that end in the same result are amazing, :)

[@frederickszalay1484]

Legends come alive!

[@hellsbaby127]

Great job but it did make me feel as though part 2 was infact part 3. keep up the good work.

[@benters3509]

Thanks for posting. But it is commentary and information that I like, not awful music.

[@Ochenter]

Really nice what you got up at this point !! I love seeing boat building in progress.

[@merc1110]

A true labor of love.

[@tackyman2011]

I guess I would want to be the rich old bastard who doesn't do shit but sign checks, while these very useful and capable men do all the work.

[@elgham5080]

[@taffythegreat1986]

She's looking smart 👍👍👍👍

[@simonmakinson]

Yeah, where is part 4? Really started to enjoy her come together & then nothing! Come on guys, get the video diaries on the tube.

[@steadynumber1]

simon makinson My thoughts too Simon. I was waiting for the roundels to be restored to the hull & seeing her planing under her own power.

[@tartan_ninja69]

Excellent work to restore the old girl :)

[@ripghyll]

Ah ! makes more sense if Part 3 was part 2 and Part 2 was part 3 !

[@leondarrylfenton9784]

Just seen this vessel moored at North Corner Pontoon Devonport 😁

[@buffplums]

Looks great but would love to see some of the steps in more detail like the engine refits

[@ianpearce5745]

i would love to see it finished

[@Damush1]

Part 4 soon please.😊

[@shortcut579]

Must have cost a fortune to get it that far ,even if the guys working on her were volunteers .It looks great .

[@louisblock1006]

nice job !!! i wish it whas my boat. ps : i like the music

[@ronpat100]

nice video!1 and misic

[@TheFerrariTeam]

Great restauration !! Do you also have a video where the ship sails ???

[@alvinrichover9682]

Working under a suspended load......or one rigged up with wood blocks and sticks....without back up stands....not me.

[@stevenvanderheide2931]

Nice project, but it's a shame that you've painted those numbers on the beautiful hull.

[@steadynumber1]

The numbers are displayed as would have been in RAF service. I was looking forward to seeing the roundels too but apparently that is also 'work in progress.'

[@blugrasssful]

Did you finish the dang boat or are you still tow'n it around?

[@MjK931]

how long did the restoration take great job on the boat . and where are you from and where did this take place goood work there

[@brianpercival1829]

Should be an update video before you sell it. Was there a Kick Starter Fund to help finish it?

[@chatsboy1003]

Sadly, this boat seems to have been abandoned and now appears to be half submerged on one of the old slipways in Devonport dockyard. (Along with a couple of other abandoned yachts.)

[@6sexysize]

Great vids where the hell is part 4 ???????????????????????

[@fw1421]

Painting on red lead and no respirators? Or is that just anti-fouling paint?I haven’t seen any safety equipment used at all.

[@slowmotion6839]

where is the finished product

[@cheeseblog]

I want to be a pirate too!

[@jpx1967]

C'est fini. .?

[@tonydeleo3642]

Was this a crash rescue boat designed to save pilots after water landings?

[@davidjones332]

Yes, RAF high-speed rescue launch from WW2. They were known as "Hants & Dorsets", after a well-known bus company because they had a large superstructure that looked as if they had a bus sat on deck. They also carried a pair of enclosed rotating aircraft gun turrets, each mounting 4 x .303 machine guns for AA defence.

[@fw1421]

Any updates on this restoration? This is 10 years old.

[@ivandeavila175]

Any updates ??

[@homefront3162]

Umm wtf? #4

[@dankeyes2669]

Stop the music

[@samwestwell5982]

Lose the annoying music please

[@43manning]

Stop the damn music! “Dislike” because of it.

[@anglerjj3089]

can't people just erase their old senseless crap. These are no restoration videos, these are nerve wrecking nothing telling noise videos. 👎👎👎👎👎 The best of all is, that you stopped making these kind of sh... 👍

[@blumidgetgaming6883]

just have one thing to say they fucking ruined this mtb putting white paint on and thos fucking numbers

[@leondarrylfenton9784]

They are a part of the Vessels History when She was in Service ..
