The following photographs were sent to me by Christian Sheppard-Capurro in Gibraltar and are used with his kind permission and my thanks. It is nice to see that there are still a number of British Power Boats still around some 60 years after they were first constructed.
I am always interested to hear about any BPB craft if anyone out there has information and or photographs I should like to know.
"Adeheid"

"MASB 32 " in Wartime
These photographs - above, below and right - are of BPB MASB 32 shown
in Wartime, and as a private motor yacht, and clearly shows the classic
sheer lines of Hubert Scott Paine's designs.
The photographs on the right are delightful in that they show the vessel under way, filmed in her home port of Gibraltar early in 2005.
Her History is shown below... quite eventful. but it shows what a little bit of love and care... and money can do.
