I have just looked at the RNLI shop for lifeboat plans and they are still showing as they have been for while now the following for the Shannon plans:  "Sorry, we are unable to take further orders for this item at present".

The Centre pic shows it is crying out to be modelled with the launch/recovery tractor.

Just for you Ned :-))


The Tractor unit is made by a company in Somerset I think. called "Supercat".  They bulid alot of MOD stuff so getting plans for the tractor unit maybe very hard to get hold of. The Boat plans are not as i understand it being released yet. I guess we are going to have to wait a bit longer

What a super bit of kit Bill.
A tad better than the 'Tractor in a Box' that launches our D class at Cleethorpes.  8) 8)
