Albatross parts in general ?

Post by Superaquarama »

Ray Wright used to have almost everything for Albatrosses and Deltas, does anyone know what happened to his business or stock in Norfolk ? I believe I'm correct in thinking that Ray's no longer with us, recall reading somewhere that he'd sadly passed away.

Can't help asking with your username - is this a wish, dream or do you have one?!

Simmonds fitted from new with what, I believe, is the only running factory marinised Daimler 2.5 litre V8 (as fitted to the Daimler SP 250) in the UK. Please let me know if you find another! Believed to be Norman Buckley's race boat.

Hi

You need to speak to Dick Batters or Rod Champkin who may have what you need, or will probably know where to get it. There can't be much that they don't know about these boats.

I think that they are both on this forum.

Sadly very few, but worth a call. I went through their stores a while ago and they had some windscreen glass and what i assumed to be some prop shafts, but that was about it. Waterhead Marine is not what it used to be - like so many businesses which depended on Windermere.
