Fairmile B motor launch

Hey kiddo! Do you want to know about the Fairmile B motor launch? It's a really cool boat that was used in World War II.

So, a motor launch is a type of boat that uses an engine to move through the water. The Fairmile B motor launch was a specific type of motor launch that was designed by a man named Noel Macklin.

The Fairmile B was used by the British Navy during the war to do things like patrol the coast and help with anti-submarine warfare. It was a really important boat because it was fast and could go long distances without needing to refuel.

The boat was made of wood and had two engines that could go really fast - up to 20 knots! That's almost as fast as a car on the highway. It also had guns on it to help protect it from enemy boats.

The Fairmile B was a really important part of the British Navy during World War II and helped keep people safe. It was a really cool boat and is still used today by some people who like to go boating for fun!
