alan_fincher Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Does anyone have any more photos or details of Cambourne town class motor? Hello, Are you the current owner, please? I ask, because I think I have had a "conversation" with someone about the boat fairly recently, but I can't for the life of me remember when or where! I'm not aware of much except those posted in this thread by my brother (Antar Mike). I've a sneaking feeling that there was a picture postcard of Raven's Lane lock in Berkhamsted with a full length BWB Town class motor from the maintenance fleet on, and that this was probably Cambourne. These occasionally turn up on e-Bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We bought Cambourne from Mike (another Mike who is not your brother) who converted it into a liveaboard about 10 years ago. I have seen some images of Cambourne when it was privately owned but still carrying however not seen much else. I will try and get some digital versions of these photographs sent over so that I can post them up on another thread. Many thanks for your help. I shall carry on looking! Cheers!

alan_fincher Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Yes, I'd be interested to see any old pictures of the boat. It is one I remember well as a local maintenance boat, although it seemed only my brother photographed it - I don't seem to have done. Good luck, and if, in your searches, you find anything of either "Sickle" or "Letchworth"/"Flamingo", I would of course love to see it. As maintenance boats "Sickle" and "Cambourne" would regularly have been tied up at the same locations as each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
