RML 497 (motor launch)
RML 497 (Rescue Motor Launch number 497) is a former Royal Navy Fairmile B motor launch from World War II. She was named ''Western Lady III'' on her entry to civilian service, as a passenger motor vessel for Western Lady Ferry Service. She is now named ''The Fairmile'', and operates for Greenway Ferry on their day cruise route from Torquay and Brixham to Dartmouth and Greenway. In May 2013, she was returned to her original wartime appearance.
==Design==
''The Fairmile'' is a wooden hulled passenger vessel. Her hulls-form is very fine for a vessel of her type; it is based on a destroyer hull, albeit much smaller, as her original speed was some 20 knots. The hull is split into watertight compartments – a forward compartment houses a very basic passenger lounge, which the present owners intend to use as a museum area, the midships compartment is the engine room, housing twin Gardner diesels, and an aft compartment contains the toilet facilities. The main deck has a forward open passenger deck. Aft of this, the forward deckhouse contains a chart room. In the centre of the main deck is a raised open deck area, surrounding the funnel, and with the open flybridge above the chartroom. Aft of the funnel is the main passenger lounge, originally the sick-bay, now named "Churchill's", in honour of Winston Churchill, who was First Lord of the Admiralty at the time of the vessels's commissioning. The saloon is decorated with memorabilia of Churchill, including his profile etched on the side windows, and contains a bar.〔 Both of the deckhouses are surrounded by an open passenger promenade deck. At the stern of the vessel, the former open deck has now been enclosed with an awning.
