Whilst working on the inflammable insulation of the boat he accidentally set in on fire, and in danger of losing his boat called the fire brigade, Roger Fox tells us.
Insulation alight
The fire crew from Twickenham discovered the insulation alight, though by then the owner had doused it with water and it was under control.
Parts of the interior skin of the boat were cut away as the insulation was still smouldering, with the insulation pulled out as a precaution.
