    a few years back i remember seing a sealink liveried boat mored in bristol docks, i think that it might have been the brading, , does anyone know what became of her and the other of the denny built boats that were used on the ryde to portsmouth crossing, i remember these with fond memories, there was something exciting about standing on the open decks as a child when going over to island on the holidays of my youth that the modern seacats just dont have to me it was the start of the holiday, anyone else remember these boats ?

    I managed to acquire the Steevens and Struthers siren from Southsea when she was destroyed in what was (and is) in my mind an act of vandalism.
