Restored WWII motorboats on display at Portsmouth

Two boats that were used by the Allied forces in World War II have been saved from the scrapyard or sale abroad and will go on display in Portsmouth.

I am so glad that these boats have been saved at last.

I echo that sentiment. It is great to see those boats restored and preserved.

Caught it on the local news in the week, made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end seeing them a speed

Awesome.

I was lucky to do a spot of filming as an extra on HMS Medusa in the late '90's. That was fantastic charging up and down Southampton Water
