ť Topic: Begging time for Higgins photos...
http://www.ptboatforum.com/cgi-bin/MB2/netboardr.cgi?cid=101&fid=102&tid=2698

Well, now that the man cave is back to normal, I've started back on the Higgins book with a vengeance. One thing I'd like to do is include an overall photo of all of the Higgins PTs. I've gone through my stash and identified all the publishable shots and am sadly lacking. Here are the boats for which I need clear overall shots: 73-76, 81-83, 85-94, 197,198, 200-210, 212-220, 222, 224-227, 229, 231, 233, 236-239, 241, 242, 246-251, 254, 265-313, 450-461, 464-482, 484, 485, 627, 629, 630, 632-660, 791-805.

Would appreciate any uploads anyone might be willing to make.
Thanks.

Al

Al,
I have some really good pics of PT-84. My Dad, Jim Cunningham was the last skipper. Call me, I'll be glad to help.

Al, PT's 265-276 were sent to Russia for lend-lease in Oct-1943. I've got a couple pics. I posted a photo and brief story about this squadron last week. See the subject: "Bullnose". You can e-mail me if interested.

Al - Sending you what I've got that are of decent quality (some better than others). Boat numbers are correct to the best of my knowlege, but you know how that goes sometimes...

You're welcome Al. Believe I got these from Don at BB Cove. I used the 450 one in my MTBSTC book since it was taken in Narragansett bay.
