An Illustrated Talk by John Risdon

Our very own historian, John Risdon tells the unique story of the Fairmile B Motor Launch that was built for WW2 as RML 497 (Rescue Motor Launch) and which later saw peacetime service as The Western Lady.

This motor launch is closely associated with Galmpton & Torbay.
