MTB 102

Hi

I saw this last night on the Thames.

I have admired the couple of similar craft over the years that are solent based - but I have never seen this guy before.

Fab condition - sounded super too. The tubes fairing was quite a sight.

Anyone know where its based - the story etc?

Pleased to hear.

Thanks

Wow! That was quick.

Wonder what she was doing on the Thames then?

Thanks for the info

MTB 102 was on a quick visit up the Thames, went through Teddington lock. take a look at the Thames forum page.

MTB 102 is a member of the Association of Dunkirk Little Ships so you can read up on her history at: www.adls.org. You can also take a look at my tub as well

I grew up on MTB452. Looks like she was somewhat bigger - 71.5ft. Happy childhood memories.
