The
two MGB's, 305 "Grey Owl" & 308 "Grey Wolf", are "Steam Gunboats" with the same
"Origins" as MGB 309
"Grey Goose".
"Grey Goose", the one time command of Sir Peter Scott, was later, however, heavily modified. She was fitted with 2, out of the 3 only ever
produced, of the "Rolls Royce RM 60 3 stage Gas turbine marine engines.
The
3rd engine was sent to the USA and its whereabouts are now any-ones guess
!!
