That is good news Stephen.
A lot of old military equipment has been restored over recent years (aircraft, tanks etc) and from what I can gather this need to preserve and restore some of our recent history continues.
It would be good to see ML492 restored to the way she would have been in 1942.
I suspect that if she were slightly older and had a war record she may have been saved already !

I am told that there is work a foot to recover her for preservation as she floats with each tide all I suspect is not lost

A sad ending for the boat, but it must be good for you to know the full history of your project.

Hi StephenT, 1/43 is a good scale as there are lots model cars and of course 'O' gauge model railways, to choose from

I am really pleased to know that you are going to make a model of this very interesting craft that has obviously had an “interesting” life.
That is a sad end for what would have been a proud member of the Coastal Command forces.
Does anyone know anything about the service history of this boat, or its number (or name even?) when it was in military service?

Yes I am going with that as an idea a lot of handrails to fit on the scale I think it comes out as o gauge 7mm to the foot approx 1/43rd so have to find a rowing boat that scale lts a shame that the original boat is now a hulk on a sand bar in Devon

Do you fancy making your own “Pride of Paignton” model using the photographs you have found as a reference Stephen?
Not many models are made of ex-Coastal Command boats in their later life after military service.
It’s a fascinating find that has several options for you to consider.

Well I’ll be damned, that is a fascinating find! And may very well be the answer Stephen! Can we classify her as a high speed motor launch for harbor patrol or a Fairmile B hybrid? Interesting find no matter the answer, have to love a good mystery.

Well amongst all the strange things that happen after a visit to Torquay, and a conversation about an ex local mtb the Pride of Paignton it seems local chap made models of that boat in latter years in the late 1960s
