originally 3 x 1100 HP petrols
Now 2 x600 HP Cummins Diesels
Long bulge on the foredeck shows that torpedo designed to be fired from the stem through a hatch in the bow, although trials showed that the twin tube technique was bettter and she was converted to that format with 2 x 21inch tubes.
Departed Teddington about 0845 08MAy and passed through the lock and pulled up (for breakfast according to the lockie) on the lock layby. Greeted at Shepperton Lock by Walton Bridge Cruiser Club Members 'Jeverek' and 'Lady Greybrooke'. Passed through Shepperton Lock (alone in the lock) around 1130. Narrowboat owner coming out of Shepperton Lock and faced with an MTB got a bit of a shock
