--- or adapted them, --- to test gas turbine engines. In the late nineteen-fifties they were moored in Poole Harbour, Dorset. Locals nicknamed them Whiz and Swiz because one worked well and the other didn't. They were beautiful boats, with sculpted (ie not flat) decks, streamlined cabins, turquoise colour I think. Has anyone ever heard of these boats since? Does anyone know a forum or site that might match this query?

Could not find any pictures, but I'm eating cashews and didn't want to spend too much time on it. dj
