Two Gamebirds! and now there are 3!
We knew that our Gamebird was actually Gamebird 2 as John Fowler had had another Gamebird before her and amazingly, the original Gamebird is also on the Scottish Lowland canals! It is quite amazing when you consider that John lives in the south of England that his two first boats find their way to Scotland. We had seen the original Gamebird at Grangemouth Sea lock earlier this year and had been able to put the new owner, Joe, in touch with John. When I heard on the grapevine (thanks Ronnie) that she was at Ratho I popped down to meat Joe and his good lady and to introduce them to our Gamebird. Naturally, some photos were taken ... When John sent me a photo of his new Gamebird I just had to complete the set!
