[StartQuote] I find it hard to believe that if these boats were so desirable, and the lack of manufacturing facilities was the only draw back, that that problem would not have been rectified immediately. Why would a company even involve itself in contest so to speak if it was not capable of producing the desired boat in the numbers necessary to meet the Navy's requirements? North American Aviation, Boeing, Elco, Higgins, Grumman, and the list could fill the page of all the defense contractors that answered the call when our Nations peril was at it's greatest. By building new facilities to out produce the Axis powers, those contractors gave our men the tools to win through to victory. Question: What is uglier than a Vosper? Answer: A Huckins. Just my thoughts on an ugly duckling. Larry 62 Bel-Air 260 Eagle EXP 79 Cole TR-2[EndQuote]
