The Research Vessel (RV) Bill Conway is a purpose built Lochin 38 and is used by staff and students at Southampton University's National Oceanography Center (NOC) for Teaching and Research in local waters. She can transport up to 12 personnel. I have photographed her a number of time since 2007. However this is a more recent image having been captured in November 2017 as she was motoring down Southampton Water in the direction of Calshot.
