Sorry....don't quite understand the question....

Is this writing on the plate?

GP14s not really my thing.

cheers

I think the bottom of the plate had the address of Bell Woodworking but it is obliterated and I would like to know what it should be - last word may be Leicester?

I dont have a scanner here but the logo on the front of the 21st Edition "Home Boat Building ....made easy" (3/- or 15 n.p.) is something like this

There was another address, Bell Woodworking Co, 153 Parker Drive,
Leicester LE4 0JP. I do not know if this one was used on data plates. The one Neil posted is the one that was used in the pegasus literature.

Could it be

BOATBUILDERS LEICESTER?

Dunno, my GP is a R R Sills boat. That is getting pretty illegible too, though it is also branded on top of the centreboard case too. Is there a classic boat builders/kit suppliers list somewhere out there?
