CRICKLADE

[Hornbeam]

Great Class of vessel which the M.O.D. could do with now to keep Watch bearing in mind the over and underwater problems we are having around are Coast at at the moment, possibly manned by the R.F.A. ( along with a small R.N. Party) who seem to have been given that task rather than just providing Logistical support as the R.F.A. have done in the past.
Some of this Class should have been allocated to the R.N.R. when they lost the P2000 to the to the Uni “Snotties”, very reliable Main Engine well know to “Tiffies” and Stoker/Mech’s and as seen still going strong after all these years, very popular with the Yachties who want the tougher type of vessel, saw one in St Tropez a few years ago, very “Tiddley” in Blue and White

Apparently when she was fitted out in Hull she suffered a serious fire which just about gutted her the day before she was due to leave Hull, also the day before the insurance took effect It also could possibly up for sale soon.
