FLY2 10,108 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Went down with all hands hopefully.......LOL No, no, I didn't mean it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,435 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 It seems they still have one "boat" - which may not be a launch - at least in September 2013. Scroll down a bit here, and see what else they have as well. Sadly, they no longer have any submarines http://www.nottinghamshire.police.uk/sites/default/files/documents/files/FOI%20006968%2013.pdf 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yes, they just have the one rib ( inflatable ). Not seen the old launch on the river for many years, they don't seem to patrol like they used to, they're more reactive and use the helicopter. The Environmental Agency seem to do more river work these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swe62 334 Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 thanks the list is for 2013 though, I wonder what they did with the launch it was a good piece of kit ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheTramp 139 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 A few years ago when talking to a BW supervisor I mentioned that I liked a launch parked near Trent Lock, he said that it was an ex police launch passed to BW but it was not good and no use to them, it had the wrong hull shape and was difficult to steer on a canal, not seen it since. Go's to prove that good looks aren't everything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,497 Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 We don't even have our beloved Police horses now so there's no way we'll have a Police boat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bubblewrap 3,815 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 I first read the heading of this thread as police lunch . What does a policeman have for his lunch ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TBI 2,351 Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 What does a policeman have for his lunch ? Mmm, a hard one to get your teeth into. Beats on toast? a nice bacon baton or, if bizzy, a jam sandwich and a quick copper tea! I know, sorry, already got me coat on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
denshaw 2,869 Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 What does a Policeman have for lunch? 30 minutes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
