ALWYN GREENHALGH Boats Album Page 4
Here I include some miscellaneous pictures and information that may be of interest.
1. Daisy Vanner. The Vanner's seem to have been a very close couple who travelled extensively to attend meetings.
The button above will take you to the excellent article about Ted Vanner on the 'On The Wire' website
4. This is Stan Clifford - Another well known long term model boat exponent. This picture as taken at St. Albans lake in 1951.
Probably the engine from 'Poly Ester'

2. Here is Daisy - In her 90's when she was re-united with 'LEDA III' following the boat's renovation by Alwyn Greenhalgh
5. Stan Clifford's 'Blue Streak'
5a. This is the text on the reverse of the above picture.

3. And here is 'LEDA III' as she is today. Ready to win the next competition!
3a. And here is the 'Engine Room'. A piece of Hacksaw blade has been used as a ratchet device for the timing!
6. On the reverse it states - "Blue Streak (60.1 M.P.H.) Note clean running and perfect Planing. 4 stroke 30cc engine."
7. Another Stan Clifford machine - "Poly Ester" in 1959. Powered by a 30cc Two Stroke.

My guess is it's some sort of Timer. On the right: The Stuart Turner 'Henley' steamer. |

The following are sections of a 1908 programme and are included as a matter of historic interest. The nature of the programme means that the page order is not logical. Click pictures to enlarge.
