I have been sent these two terrific photos. by Bjorn Abrahamsen, her present skipper in Norway of the last sailing trawler to fly the "Short blue".  She is the Boy Leslie sold by the Hewett family before WW2 to Norway.

She survived as a cargo vessel before being restored back to her sailing trawler rig and layout.

She is seen here racing in a traditional regatta in Denmark.
