Mystery Launch 03-05-2016

Details on the above launch are zero but given the model / year of the truck, the Keith Hay name on the truck & the present day location of the photo (KH Whangarei office) – maybe just maybe someone can ID the vessel or even the blokes in the photo.

So woodys – anyone able to help?

I don’t recognise the boat but the truck is a 1950s Bedford, it has to be the (probably early to midi would think), 1950s & Since there is no propeller shaft, or rudder, I would tend to think she is still under construction, & is being moved for some reason. KEN R
