Yes I like your tug-pics alot.
I was abit suprised that Flying Spindrift was build in GB, she looks a bit American in her hull. Very beutiful lines.

Hope to post a few more tugs soon when time permits.
I am not a great researcher although I knew she was UK built. Can't remember what she was doing in Harwich!!
