reg. BA I would assume Ballantrae, Ayr or Girvan, but I note that she was later N332 owned by Joseph Brown of Kilkeel. She was built by Forbes in 1959.

Hello just noticed this old post ! If you are still interested you should talk to Donald Swarbrick who is a member on here- he had some pics of boat on here and I think he was in her crew out of Ayr . This boat went to N.I. a long time ago and i doubt if shes still on the go. Incidentally are you the man who has written the books ? good pictures and informative text/captions !

I have posted several photos of the Olive Tree in here between 2011- 2012. It was built for my grandfather John Duthie and was laterly skippered by his son Alex (my uncle) who was skipper during my eleven years aboard her.
Sorry I never came across this post earlier.
