The
following photographs were sent to me by Christian Sheppard-Capurro in Gibraltar and
are used with his kind permission
and my thanks. It is nice
to see
that there are still a number of British Power Boats still around
some 60 years after
they were first constructed.
I am always interested to hear about any
BPB craft if anyone out there
has
information and or photographs I should
like to know.
"Adeheid" ex HSL 2554 pictured in Gibraltar 2005.
After the war she was used as an RTTL (Radio Target Towing Launch) until 1947 in Gibraltar.

"MASB 32 " in Wartime
These photographs - above, and right - are of BPB MASB 32 shown
in Wartime, now as a private motor yacht, and clearly shows the
classic
sheer lines of Hubert Scott Paine's designs.

"MASB
32 " in Peacetime 
The photographs on the right are delightful in that they show the vessel under way, photographed in her home port of Gibraltar early in 2005.
Her
History is shown left... quite eventful. but it shows what a little
bit of
love and care... and money can do
