Ironclad is in Springfield marina I think on the Lee. Been up for sale for silly money recently. Lovely boat but no good for a tall person like me.

I know they have (or at least the two girls did) kept it looking very original but to actually live on board you have to be 5.6" or less. It was out of the water for a long time at Barking, can't remember the exactly but would think for at least 18 months and then AFIR it was moored over the other side of the Roding on the Hewitt's Industrial site side for a while

Dreadful news concerning Derek of Ambush... GWS fella! π
" NEWS π° FLASH NEWS π° FLASH " Derek is having some serious health issues at the moment, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer on Monday 8th April, he then had a biopsy yesterday 10th April he should get the results next week to determine how bad it is. He also suffered what they are calling a mini stroke on the same day as he was diagnosed with prostate cancer, and had to attend the stroke clinic yesterday, where he was informed that he would need an MRI scan and also that he was not allowed to drive. So due to what is going on right now the shop at Burscough will be closed until further notice. He is trying to arrange the deliveries by road to be done by someone else, but in the meantime all deliveries are on hold.
