Snipe VII was launched on 26th September 1970 at the Waterside Inn, Bray on the River Thames. These photos – which we believe were mainly taken by my grandma – Madeleine Faulder, were recently converted to digital from 35mm slides found in my mum’s loft. They show Snipe under construction in grandpa’s garage, the launch day itself and some early forays on the Thames.
