This boat is an unknown all-wood scratch built of an unusual prototype The Mocca class built by Thorneycraft at Chiswick they were the prototype of torpedo boats with a single locomotive boiler two torpedos in the tubes and two spares on the deck to the rear of the tubes The motor fitted does not work so I have replaced this and the speed controller and radio the weakness of this model is that I have made a rudder as plan its a bit big to get caught up in pond weed😠

Following its rebuilding after its Titanic type Today at the pond we flew across the pond not sure what the birds on the lake thought of this grey dart coming at them but most pleased with its running nice to have something different
