I bet you debated “antifoul“ and “anti-foul“ as well!Motorboats & Yachting. We used to debate that ampersand for hours but never got round to changing it to 'and'.

What have you for against chickens?
Might be worth having a chat with the daily and weekly newspapers that were around at the time. There's usually a number / email for photo sales. Most if not all, may've digitised their photographic archive and made it searchable.I don't know , I assumed all the sailors marched the whole route , he was only 18 , hadn't been in the navy long
He had a TIA about 12 months ago and now has dementia , IIRC he told me he was at the back and all the pictures are taken from the front so he's just a blur in the background in all the pictures they've found.
If you are ever in Westbourne grove Bayswater, call into J H Kenyon Funeral Director’s, they did the funeral and used to have a fair number of good close up images on display (I assume they still have them).Might be worth having a chat with the daily and weekly newspapers that were around at the time.

Also, media companies like Getty Images, Shutterstock etc will have a searchable database of professional and amateur photos, taken along the route. Lastly, you could try the Royal Navy. They would've had their own photographers there, covering the event for the fleet newspaper/magazine. Apologies for stating the obvious

There are two lovely Comitti boats at the Show, both treated with our Coppercoat at the factory in Italy. For those that don’t know them, think Riva as Ferrari, and Comitti as Maserati.

Love Boats and had so much Fun with them but you really need the weather.
This is nice. It’s a new design by Swallow Boats, a 30ft wood/epoxy motorboat built in Wales. It’s light, so quite quick even with modest engines.

£130k on the literature that I've seen.Very handsome, that.
What do the prices start at and are they planning something smaller?
Yes!Is that your mat on the floor?
It’s a £150k inc Vat, though engine size (and therefore cost) is variable to suit.Very handsome, that.

Thanks, Ewan. I was guessing 120. Their sailing yachts also look very nice but Mrs C fancies something that doesn't want to thump her around the head every 10 minutes. She married badly, clearly.It’s a £150k inc Vat, though engine size (and therefore cost) is variable to suit.
They make smaller yachts, but this is their only motorboat to date.
