Known Owners
Entry in Fairey Marine sales ledger, suggests this Firefly might have been exported to Hong Kong, January 1958, c/o Lt Roberts RN via Chatham Dockyard, with cotton sails proofed? This section of the hand-written sales ledger is now very frail and difficult to read.
Early 1960’s – Keith Walker, Tudor SC, thought to have been purchased from Lt Roberts in Kenya and returned to UK by Keith’s father and raced in Langstone and Chichester Harbours
RYA records dated April 1969, and NFA membership records note this Firefly owned by Wessex SC, c/o Southampton University. Perhaps returned to the UK?
