have a look at :

The article mentions boats worth up to £15k – seems a rather high valuation.

Swan attacks model boats

Gosh. I never knew I had a lake named after me! The swans on Bushy are only angry when they have little`uns, and then only if approached fairly closely.

£15k does seem to be quite high, perhaps someone has an 8 foot Bismarck or woteva hiding in the shed?

Mind you, all of my boats are priceless, of course….

What price do you put on a boat? What do insurance companies pay out for a Titanic that you spent 5 years in building? (not mine I hasten to add, 4 months more like)

If it wasn't a danger to the public, why did they feel the need to put up warning notices ?

One well aimed cartridge would sort the begger out.

Hi All

15K for a model boat, if it was a 8 foot the builder would have that in paid hours!!!

Want would the hours be in the Great Western build???
