Antlia

Original intended GUCC pairing with butty No 304, Lupus.

1941-45: leased to London Fire Service as LFS No 21. 

1958: cut in two.  The fore end was converted to a BW hire cruiser Water Vixen, later named Kitty, and the stern was converted at Ocker Hill to a 30ft tug, Tardebigge, by fitting a new riveted bow. 

1995: the two halves were reunited as a 60ft motor boat and a cabin conversion fitted.  (A new stern was also fitted to Tardebigge.)
