Will Framar Be saved? Only time will tell

Today is thee Day the people who helped save the Framar from the Depths  of River Withem.
The people that are coming to save the day are in fact the Old Green Goddesses.
Famous for their unique way of problem solving whilst being professional and having high regards to public safety.

The recovery will be over looked by a Chief of the Fire brigade to ensure no one will be risking there lives during this important recovery.
This was announced on the April the 1st, So people thought it was an april fools day joke.
They were so wrong.
It is the highest of importance  that the Framar is to be floating before the next day or the river will be made to rise and this would add even more problems that could cause the framar to to be lost forever.

No Luck so far for Framar

Sorry to have to tell you that so far raising the Framar has been a fail.
To make things even worst there are people who are ready to help raise the boat but unfortunately the boats Insurance is Clearly holding out on any funding support, putting a hold on her recovery.
David Bradford as put everything he had into the Framar as his passion to help the boat makes it to become part of a trust.
So the only way that the Framar can be saved Now is if Funding was offered to cover the cost so the boat can be recovered as soon as possible.
It has been said that the Framar has taken on water many time in her history.
So why there are so many negative people who say that it is it!  If it has been recovered in her past then what makes it different now?
There are lots of people who love the Framar and are willing to help her when she has been recovered, She even has a home offered while she is being restored by the nice people at the Railway Hotel.
By the way their customer care and breakfasts in the morning are outstanding.
Also it will be a great public place to meet and talk about the Framar's future.
 David Bradford shared BBC Radio Lincolnshire's video.

Framar takes on water

The Framar Sinks over night

The Framar has been through so much and David and his son Dean have been through so much to try and protect this boat so that it can become part of the River and Railway heritage trust for Lincolnshire.
After getting hit by many back falls and set backs caused by Vandalism in Lincoln the loss of all her original fenders and the Framar  life rings, and fuel drainage left the owners with endless problems that lead David and Dean to desperate life threatening moments that would put them both at serious risks to their own lives just to keep the boat alive.
David is Terminally ill and his son Dean who has walking trouble have not had any luck at all.
Saturday Morning Framar was spread around facebook that she has submerged.
Its expected that people will be meeting up from local communities to try and save this very historical boat.  "Its not until we start to lose something precious that we wake up and realize how important something is"
All the amazing stories this boat has to offer that is important and needs to be added to the educational plan giving schools a more colorful perspective of interests into our own history.
The weather has been mean but the main reason for her sinking was because impeller pipe complications that should offer a direct resolve as soon as she is drained.
This played its part in saving us during the war and now the tables have turned! This boat now needs the people to save her.
This boat can only be saved if we had a dedicated community of support to share the responsibility and care of the Framar.
 We can only hope that the Framar will be floating before the end of the day today so please follow this post and we will be able to keep you updated of her recovery,

Framar turns out to be historically linked to Lord Baden Powell

We got in-touch with a museum in the hope of getting evidence to show that Framar was involved in the Dunkirk evacuations. But in our response we found out something new that shows the Framar is a boat that needs to be saved as the following email shows:


Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately I can find no record of Framar taking part in the Dunkirk Evacuations. I have found her in 1939s Lloyd's Register of Yachts (see below), which confirms that she was built by J. Taylor in 1937 and shows she had two 8 cylinder Chrysler petrol engines, so she would have been a speedy boat. Her owner in 1939 was Capt. F. P. Marshall. He was a member of the Hayling Island Sailing Club, The Royal Southampton Yacht Club and The Old Carthusian Yacht Club
(whose Commodore in 1939 was Lord Baden-Powell and was a club for those who went to Charterhouse School). This indicates that Framar was probably based on the Solent or around Chichester harbour before the War.

So now we have this information it proves this boat needs saving so people ever forget her history.
Click on donate button on the right or get in-touch if you want to sponsor the boat and help her get restored and seen by everybody up and down the country.

If we can have her fully restored before 2017 we could celibate her 80th Birthday by having the framar go on a sea Adventure or do something epic that can be added to her History.

I Dean Bradford have wrote eight chapters of a Novel on this boat, the novel will be called Sunset Dreams, about a creative young boy who travels to the Isle of sky to stay with uncle after he leaves school to get away from disturbing issues, his uncle shows him the island via a microlite, but while his uncle is away on a business conference, this young boy watches the sun set as he dwells on issues he has left behind, and he is sure that he can see another land in the clouds, so one day he flies up by himself against his uncles knowLedge and travels to another land.
And makes a special friend, but what has happened?
Did he goto another land or is it just a dream?
I am writing this novel in away that makes the story very interesting yet very un predictable.
I have also re invented ways to move around my story using crossing path events, of objects and nature and his uncle has 3 pets, 2 ferrits and a Maw cat that together with the whole adventure make a really compelling story.

So helping me save the framar, also helps me finish my book.
