    Back off topic- Will be putting my kids in my former bunk on Vampire this weekend after a little run on Sunday over the nice bridge in Sydney

    Are the mess decks open? Last time we were there [ many years ago] we weren't allowed in , because of asbestos scare. Bob
    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    We saw the last 21 inch torpedo fired in the RAN from a surface ship [ Vampire] off Singapore in 1969? I think. Target was HMS London, who was carrying out a gunnery attack on us, firing off set . She sent us a signal -" congratulations Vampire, torpedo passed under our bow". Bob

    Just read this total thread, some of which I found quite interesting, although I found the estimated power outputs of two 903s at 12-1500 HP to be rather "optimistic"!
    Has the O.P. seen the "resurection" of this thread I wonder, & what has happened to the boat the subject of the thread sinse?
    It would be interesting to see what's happening, as this boat is obviously the "genuine article".

    I don't think I've missed anything, but I'm always happy to be corrected Bob, so, maybe you can do that for me?

    No worries Bob.
    Well, I did ask, "what had happened" to the boat....etc.
    Now I see that the current owner has come on here, so my question was, & still is, "What had/has happened", to the boat.
    Someone said it was looking a bit sad, and that was a few years ago, (this is a "resurected" thread) so in view of that, as it had "history" etc, I'm asking "what's happened to it",....ie, has any repair/resto work been done etc, to ensure its longevity, and what is it's current condition?
    Pickles.
