Vosper 73" ASRL

HI chris
I have a plan of a 67 foot Thornycroft RAF high speed rescue launch by John Pritchard at a scale of 1/2 inch to the foot. it appears to be similar to the one you mention in the article by John Pritchard, the pennant number on my plan is 2507 but the mast and aerial details are clear and detailed. The plan is from Model Boats Plans Service and was given free with the June 1982 issue.
This may help with your detail.

Thanks Peter

I had already got John Prichards article and plan in the first link but the second link was particularly helpful with a few shots of a 1/24th model of the Vosper 73' boat
Again thank you for all your suggestions, they have been a great help and support.

Best Wishes
Chris

HI Peter,
Thanks again ( I am a member of Mahem! ) it will give me a general idea but it's the 63' Whaleback that's modeled there and not the Vosper 73' ASRL that I'm trying to finish.

Vosper 73" ASRL

Hello Peter

I've been through all these pictures before and there are very few that show the boat I'm after( and those few are indistinct regarding the rigging & aerials ).
The best source I've found so far are in an article by John Prichard (http://www.rania.co.uk/boat photos/ST/RAF-HSLAlbum/page32.html) which has both photo's and a plan but is still a bit vague about mast stays & aerial details.

Thanks again for your help
Regards
Chris

Vosper 73" ASRL

HI again

I'm In the process of finishing a Vosper 73' ASRL model from the Astec Models / Saric mouldings semI kit, but am at a loss to find any details of rigging and aerial layouts off the original boats apart from a few vague pictures on the web that don't help much.
If any of you have any detailed Information or know of a source could you please let me know.

Many thanks
