Oh dear!!!

The "steamer type" exhaust pipe is certainly correct for some ex GUCCC boats, (Large Woolwich, I believe) but the decoration is far from traditional.

It's on 'Bognor' according to what I assume is the reg number painted on it.

Whereas DENEBOLA  is a Small Woolwich, so which class of boat where they fitted to and which builder?

From reading "Walkers of Ricky",

 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Walkers-Ricky-Ltd-Rickmansworth-Hertfordshire/dp/095179230X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495301082&sr=8-1&keywords=walkers+of+ricky

 it would appear the funnel was fitted to any boat they fancied or were specified, which they built.  I think only the GUCCCo specified them. Stand correction here though.

But were they a standard fitment on all the GU motors - Woolwich, Northwich and Ricky, large and small?

That's a bit "size-ist"!  What about "middle"!

Ah yes.  I forgot about all those Middle Woolwich and Middle Ricky boats!

And the often overlooked three motor's built by E.G. Woods, Brentford appear to be overlooked once again, although loosely captured under 'small'

A very different funnel though- the trip boat funnels held gas bottles!
