Motor Gun Boat 81 is in need of funding to keep it running.

The alternative is that she goes ashore as a static exhibit which would be a crying same.

Is the boat shown on the website Gunboat 81?


If i was going to contribute and i seriously would, I would much rather see it in the colours that it should be seen in namely "Pussers grey" and some kind of B&Q kitchen colour......real shame that.
Yes, that's the boat, I'm not sure of the detail but I think that is the correct colour for her.
