For a total of 388 units built in the UK

My data indicates 20 sets of boat parts were shipped to Australia for erection, 56 to egypt, 2 to bermuda, 8 to Jamaica, 14 to Singapore, 12 to New Zealand, 4 to Hong Kong, 2 to Burma, 4 to Tanganyka, 24 to India and another 34 to various African locations. Your total of 35 thus does not match my figures.
Feel free to contact me directly if you like, remove the NOSPAM from the address above, I'll probably be out of town until Monday morning though.
Take care, brian
