I'm asking myself right now, where would the Vopsers have had the space for a sonar/asdic. The Vosper already was a pretty cramped boat without asdic/sonar. The other question is of what use the sonar would have been for MTB when they normally operated in everything else but ASW warfare.

Nevertheless Frog thank you very much for the Vosper (and all the other beauties you made) and if you are bored and you don't know what kind of gem you want to model next (which i highly doubt), maybe you should take a closer look on this beauty:

Fairmile Type D "The Dog Boat"

For those who are interested in the achievements of the Royal Navy's Coastal Forces, you may want to take a look on this site:
http://www.coastal-forces.org.uk/index.html

From the site:
Coastal forces made an enormous contribution to WW2 in every theatre of war
  • 900 actions resulting in 400 enemy vessels sunk
  • more torpedoes fired than the submarine service with a greater proportion of hits
  • vital intelligence gathered for D Day
  • landing and retrieving agents on enemy coastlines
  • by 1946 over 2000 vessels and 30,000 personnel formed Coastal forces
  • 3000 decorations won including 4 Victoria Crosses
