Looking for Magnum Tornado

[Top Banana]

Anyone know where the famous Magnum Tornado is today.

It sank under Balestrieri and stayed on teh bottom for 13 weeks.

It was raised by the Royal Navy with and the new owner Ian Toll of Tolcraft made it inot a Race Crusier for the new cruiser Class rules in 1973 CTC.

Where is it now?

Would have thought some of our UK forum members might be able to help.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Will speak to Gerry Pols in the Channel Islands he is restoring Ian Toll's TOLSTAR/MissSPEEDBIRD and hope he can fill in the answer as he is in touch with Ian.
