We are grateful to Bob Anderson for sending us these photos of his latest fishing boat model. Bob has spent these lockdown days realising this project which is close to his heart. The Premier INS 121, built as the Kestrel INS 121 (Yard No. 18) in 1974 at Campbeltown Shipyard, sadly sank with the loss of all hands. Bob has made this model as his tribute to the crew of the Premier:

John “Ned” Edwards (36 years).

Joe Edwards (34 years).

Neil Edwards (24 years)

Sandy Main (26 years).

Billy Main (33 years).

John Ross (45 years).

You can read more about the Kestrel/Premiere the lost of the crew in post Remembering the Crew of the Premier which was first published on 12th December 2019.
