Default RE: Vosper Rescue and Target Towing Launch

Hi Umi.
I guess now that I'm getting somewhere with my enquiries, I better say at this point that my brother built a model in 1959 and I started to build the same model (scaled up to 48" in length) in the mid 60's but only got as far as the hull. We do have the plans but they are in very poor condition after nearly 40 years and I don't know where we have put the original magazine. This is why I was looking for information.
GOOD NEWS THOUGH!!! The RAF Museum at Hendon, England, is willing to take photos of the full size one they have sitting adjacent its carpark and also it is going to send me a copy of the Vosper RTTL manual (about 200 pages with photos - at a considerable cost I might add).
Though I would still like to get hold of the original plans and magazine, I should now be able to complete this project. My previous reply said that the plan number I was after was MM530 (see previous reply) but I have been unable to find this number. There was one plan there however, that was very similar.
Ian.
