    Dont remember her as Taeping -but have seen old photos of her with original wheelhouse.

    Wheelhouse was very similar to Britania's, and were built within a year or two of each other, had a Gardner 6L3B 150hp and was a flyer, I seem to remember she was neighbouring Hughie Edgar in old Hercules (Fairlie built one) when I started the job. One of the first to have a Decca and then a paper plotter.
