Picture of The Timor Challenger

Thanks for the piccie John.I do hope for any film shot round about the ship so far,that for authenticity, they slung a 1950/60's type wooden,clinker built,canvas covered,row lifeboat from them there davits!

Rather than the definitively 21 st century, water-jet powered,fast rescue rigid hulled inflatable boat pictured… The nearest that offshore radio had in reality was the 'Dioptric Revenge',slung from the Starboard aft swing arm on the Ross Revenge circa late '85-'87.God Bless her and all who sailed in her!

(Cough cough) Anybody from Working Title films!My offshore consultancy fees are very reasonable…

Regards to all;
Jim.
