I recently took this pic. on the river 'ex' canal -- she's looking a bit sad now, anybody any idea what we have here?

Hello 'Skier',

I don't know about anyone else, but I cannot see your MTB photo. :?

Having a good look at the pictures, I think that they are of a "Nuoli" class, Finnish MTB.
If so, it was given some coverage on the BMPT web site.

Ah, that's better, but she's a mystery to me. I think 'Pioneer' has hit the nail right on the head.

I knew someone would have the answer -- thanks 'pioneer', the restoration seems to of ground to a halt !
On a different note MTB629 which i was researching, the builders 'Dickies and sons' lost all the paper work - photo's of her build and launch in a fire in their Scottish yard some years ago -- shame. :(
