The Register has been very fortunate in having been donated the following engines and parts. Here we wish to show our public appreciation for these donations.

Earle Williams of Harrow West London has donated a rare Mk 11 Commodore vaporiser manifold which has resided in Earles shed for over twenty years. Thank you for thinking of us.

Harvey Rose has given us on permanent loan Morris Navigator N751.The Navigator is ex Broom cruiser 'Stardust' and the register has the following details for the engine. N751 was built against Morris Marine works order 5023 for agent Herbert Woods Ltd and was despatched to CJ Broom and Sons, Brundall, Norwich on 10th September 1959. The specification was for coil ignition, no reduction box, petrol (as opposed to TVO/petrol) full electrical equipment. The guarantee was registered in the name of V. Cann of Norwich and commenced on 25th September 1959.

A number of Mk 1 Navigators and spares and for this we thank the generosity of Michael Bent-Marshall of Stebbing and wish him many continued years of happy trouble free cruising.

Hervey Martin of Heybridge has given us a Mk 1 Vedette for the collection.

Tony Merriman of Liss in Hampshire a pair of Commodore 34.
Commodore 34's donated by Commander Tony Merriman came out of the 46 ft Watson class lifeboat 'Oniros' formerly the 'Samuel and Marie Parkhouse' where they served from 1963 until November 2003. They have been replaced by a pair of RNLI specification Gardners.

Our decision to include the older diesel versions will naturally increase the number of versions considerably, we are still counting at over twenty variations on the Morris theme.

We do need to find a fully equipped lifeboat waterproofed version of the Vedette, if anyone can help with information of any kind we would be most appreciative.
