Hi Red, other pics came off Google pics, (just typed Walton air sea rescue boat in the search box and they came up). Quite often depends how you describe things, whether you get a result or not.

"Re - but, "
Fair dinkum! No worries Blue 😎 BTW the link for the plan would be more useful than the one to Mayhem; I found that thread, penguins an' all, but the photos were blocked. The apparent lead to the plan was a dead end. I found the pics on Pinterest but they're all so lo res and tiny🤔 Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

Re - but,
local Oz and Kiwi slang Doug (in place of though) we also have such terms as 'good as' short for good as gold etc. Aussies have beggers (beg yours) and others such as pluggers, - (another name for jandals/thongs of the foot variety, single or double pluggers,-number of strap plugs) We have our own lingo down here cobber.😎 See vid for an example of 'but.'😊😁 good beer BTW (just type Speights Brewery NZ into Google Earth search) JB ▲

Talking of vessels belonging to the RAF, I remember seeing a corvette wearing the defaced ensign of the RAF in Portland harbour. That would have been about 1951. The RN had two training ships moored in Portland at that time, they were the aircraft carriers 'Implacable' and 'Indefatigable'.

Thanks Peter,
It irritates me though that I couldn't find a plan ☹️ Thought I had a lead from another model site but it went nowhere🤔 Did find out that Sarik Models also has the 300 series Walton Yacht Works 38' Seaplane Tender plan though, bit nearer than Ozland😉 Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

Apologies - there is a mention of an unsuccessful Walton boat 2642 - and a small picture frontal side on - where the number is discernable - in a June 75 article by John Pritchard again. No further details are given other than the picture was a publicity shot by Waltons.

The only Walton boat seems to be a seaplane tender from an article by John Pritchard in the April 89 issue of Model Boats. Not sure if the plan is still available - MM1432 (3 sheets) There is a mention that No 338 (a picture is included) rescued 25 aircrew. The shots of the plan are very small in the article - not sure if they would be usable. Let me know via pm if you would like a copy of the article

Re- Once I had the correct plan number from JB the rest was easy Red.
Did you try the search box on Sarik (top left),? Doug, seems to work ok if you know what you are looking for, otherwise a lot of looking! JB ▲

Once I had the correct plan number from JB the rest was easy Red,
(Although some of the results from the other number were off topic but much more eye-catching😉😁) My mail crossed with Martin's, but I also found that starting from Sarik's Home page can be confusing and time consuming. The have a weird and wonderful way of categorising their plans🤔 Finding the photos was no great problem. Pinterest is very useful there. I first went straight to the RAF Boats site where I found the three photos of the original, the specs and history. Pinterest turned up mostly models or "Related" 🙄 pics. Cheers, Doug 😎 ▲

Glad you found the plan Doug - joint honours with the Kiwi and Martin perhaps - a gong might be appropriate for research.......
Shows how much help we get on this forum. Useful to ourselves as well - found I have a small scale plan of the 40' Tender when going through the file............. ▲
