I don't know, but if anybody says it's the inside view of one of their models, I'm giving up model building and going back to watching TV for a hobby!

Hi folks, I reckon its BALMORAL during her winter lay-up. The first picture is her port alley way looking aft and the door at the end is the crew room.  Regards, walter.

She is the Calshot. Tug tender from Red Funnel fleet . . . . sadly in need of invesement however the society don't seem to have a firm plan with what they want to do with her, certainly don't make it known anyway. Website badly out of date too.

Fooled me Chris, I agreed with Walter and thought it was Balmoral.
Nice to see wood and brass instead of Formica and chrome, hope she has a future.

Thank you Chris.

You wouldn't expect such a nice interior from a tug tender, at least I wouldn't. She looks to be in relatively good condition, especially when compared to the Ryde and others that look beyond restoration.
