February 2003. Norfolk NMP.
Position taken from a 1958 RAF (S3) vertical photograph with little control, and the above grid reference is only approximate. This is presumably the vessel recorded under site NHER 34152, although there is a smaller vessel to the south-west, present from 1946 (S4). The vessel has an elongated appearance with an approximate length of 71m and an approximate width of 15m, which appears to be larger than the dimensions recorded on the NMR maritime listing (this may be partly due to the rectification). The vessel may be a landing craft but the tapered, built-up aft of the vessel seems to suggest it is a barge.
The vessel is presumably a bombing range target, and part of a series of ranges within the Wash. The vessel appears to be a single plain colour in 1952 (S1), and to have been painted with stripes in 1953 (S2). The vessel is in a deteriorating condition from 1958 onwards (S4).
