    I lived next door to their base in Gibraltar. They had Merlin engines which sounded wonderful.

    I wish Airfix would produce a model of one of these beautiful workhorses.
    It would complement any collection.

    It is without doubt those RAF motor launch crews were second to none.

      3 Packard V12s wre the initial engines giving about 1500 hp! I think 39 knots was the fastest recorded.
