In 1963/64 my father built a 34" Fireboat for me. Being only about 12 the job was a little above my knowledge or expertise. Another chap in my class at school had the same boat but rigged as a Fireboat. So I wanted something different.My boat was painted Red.White and Black. When I migrated to Australia I sold the boat about 1970.Earlier this year I had an article published in a Melbourne newspaper saying I was looking to repurchase the boat I had sold 40 years ago. Although I was unable to get my boat, someone had a fireboat that had been sitting around for years.After purchasing the boat, I restored it to the same colours etc that I had had 40 years ago. Thereby naming it Phoenix.

These are the first shots of the first completed Crash Tender 94 made by Grahame Palmer to show the quality of Mike Cummings NEW 46inch. Kit. The kit took 1 year to make up and later I will send details of the Power set up we have chosen. Grahame Palmer. Phoenix Marine Model Club Surrey.
