    The Vosper and Fairmile MGB and MTB were absolutely spectacular. It saddens me beyond belief that nearly all of them were scrapped.
    A reasonable German equivalent of the time, perhaps somewhat larger, would have been their " Ë Boat", a quite formidable bit of gear.

    Oh, yes indeed. E Boat was an Allied designation though, or so I believe. Schnellebooten were indeed formidable. Not as fast as the British boats, but better armed. I can't recall if they had the 'silent' engines of the Brits for low speed stuff. Even subs were frightened of E Boats if caught on the surface. I never wanted one, though.

    I read this which quoted LR as stating the Defender wouldn't be available until 2020

    Exactly right,..but there's plenty that listen to all the 3rd 4th 5th hand gossip around, my mate knows a bloke etc etc etc, & then it becomes gospel,...not to me!!....motoring journos are just as bad,.....if it wasn't an official LandRover statement, then I take no notice.
