my 34inch crash tender, originally powered by AM diesel and free running (pretty hairy) now OS 20 powered and radio much more relaxed, built this one about 30 years ago.

This is a video clip of my Fireboat at Southport boating lake in June this year.

The idea of an on board cam was thanks to another member who submitted a video last year of their Sea Queen (see video gallery), I liked the effect so thought I'd give it a go myself. it seems to have worked?

Fireboat

Further to discussions on the forum these pictures show measuring speed with a Garmin Geko 201.
They were taken 30/11/08 on a partly frozed lake, Bradford Moor, West Yorks.

46 inch Crash Tender rescued from E-bay. Currently in the process of total restoration and have had to scratch build the entire super structure. Have fitted a Merco 61 engine with tuned pipe (the noise is awesome).

Have gone for it with the radio control- - employing a Robbe F14 plus an extra 8 channel module with decoder. So far extra controls are : each monitor (scratch built using brass pipe & sheet) left & right (using Robbe pulley set to give me 270 degrees travel), two Irvine water pumps, (real car) hooter, winch (using gearbox from Maplins) and movement for jib and search light.

Six months on and the boat has been completely refurbished and is seen here operating the fire monitor at Branston Water Park.

The video clip was taken on the Fireboat Funday where many of these models were on display together with other Aerokit models.

These are the first shots of the first completed Crash Tender 94 made by Grahame Palmer to show the quality of Mike Cummings NEW 46inch. Kit. The kit took 1 year to make up and later I will send details of the Power set up we have chosen. Grahame Palmer. Phoenix Marine Model Club Surrey.

Built using the Aerokits plans and information from the original Air Ministry build spec.

Boat is 1/16th scale - twin motors with a mixer.

Hi, this is my Ebay Crash Tender restoration project stripped ready for re-build.

It is an original kit but needs a lot of work as you can see (some times I think it would be asier to start again - but good fun).

I'm not sure how old it is exactly, it cost me £50 from ebay. Hopefully it will be ready for next summer.

It will be electric powered, probably by a graupner speed 600 single screw.

Bought this boat for £20 from a guy who was given it from a house clearence. As you can see it's quite big measuring 70" long.

It's in needs lots of TLC, will run off 2 electric motors as no IC around here. Hope to start late summer and get it to water late next year. I sail at silvermere golf course in surrey.
