Hi
Following on from the "advice" from a "Expert" ( see the Julie M video) I thought it would be a sensible idea to test the Green Parrot boat as it has the same hull, but more top hamper. Another windy day at the lake and she handles it well, as it has done for the past 25 years ?
A interesting ship as there is proof that she existed, but only verbal stories what she looked like, so with this model no "experts" can tell she is wrong.
Scale 1/32 length 762mm beam 120mm
HISTORY OF THE BOAT JULIE M. / GREEN PARROT .
We have been told that this small river steam launch was constructed by Denny Bros for use in the rivers of Siam as a postal and service craft for the Royal family at that time. She lasted from the turn of the century, when she was shipped out to Siam in sections and reassembled. She popped up again during the 1920s, and again in the 1960,s during the troubles. We have been informed that she was “borrowed” by the special forces for clandestine operations, at which time the wheelhouse was plated with sheet steel, and a purloined 20mm Cannon mounted in the bows.
She has since vanished from the scene, and there are certain problems with trying to trace any more of her history.
