          Hello Bill

          Would this be any help?

          It comes from an Australian Government website **LINK**.

            Bill,

            It just so happens that I have a somewhat moth eaten (but still usable) copy of the Magga Dan plan. If you PM me your address I will put it in the post to you.

              Couple of photographs of Vic's model, the first photograph is from his 1966 book, Power Model Boats and the second photograph is from his 1988 book, Scale Model Ships.

                Thanks to Tony Hadley's help we are hoping to reintroduce Magga Dan into the Plans Service.

                  A good joint effort Colin.

                  What a superb vessel Magga Dan is too, I couldn't help but be most impressed with this one.

                  Found this short British Movietone clip of her leaviing London with the Queen paying a visit. There are other youtube clips on her.

                  Also found this from an old publication.
