All links between P-B and Scott-Paine were severed in 1916, so I would discount any connection with this project.

P-B commenced experiments with a motor launch, called Multichine, based on his patent and built in Glasgow at a cost of £62000, in 1938 and attempted to interest the military. The RAF did test it at Felixstowe as a potential rescue craft but took the matter no further.

P-B bought it back from the Admiralty in 1946 and named it Commodore.

Like all of P-B's projects it was not half as good as he believed it to be
