History
2605 was built by the British Power Boat Company in 1942 and is a Hants & Dorset High Speed Launch. The vessel served in the RAF in the Mediterranean between 1943 and 1948, after which 2605 was used as a houseboat.
Currently located in Woodbridge, Suffolk, 2605 is in fair condition but is currently undergoing restoration. Over the past few years, 2605 has been re-decked and the vessel's port side is being replanked at present. Future restoration plans include re-planking the starboard side and rebuilding the wheelhouse.
Update, July 2023: Under new ownership but no further details known.
