Can anyone give info. of history since being decommissioned from fishing.

Model Boats magazine recently had plans I drew of the original Spinningdale class trawlers.

Hoping you are progressing with the model 90ft MFV.
best wishes Jim Pottinger

I have some shots of Accord PD90 John.

I have a good photo of her at Aberdeen.

Pleased to see my model plan has been of some use! The photos you post includes a range of MFV's sizes fron 45ft; 61.5ft; 75ft; and 90 ft boats

If that is the one of the name FR 39 that was built at Kilkeel by J. McIntosh & Sons in 1945 as 45ft MFV 956 I have a good photo
