Take a trip aboard Western Lady IV as she takes us from Brixham across Torbay to Torquay. She is one of two former Royal Navy Coastal Forces Fairmile B Rescue Motor Launches built during WWII that have provided the ferry service for many years. Together with her sister, Western Lady III, she retired from service at the end of the 2005 holiday season. Western Lady III can be seen passing in the opposite direction about halfway through the movie.
The Western Lady Ferry Service continues to operate in Torbay.
Western Lady III is now running out of Swanage, Dorset under the banner of 'Fairmile Classic Cruises' whilest Western Lady IV has passed into private ownership.

There is some good news actually! Western Lady III (sister to IV) has now been acquired by Greenway Ferry who will be using her for their River Dart excursions out of Torbay starting in a few weeks time. She has come 'home'!
All nerds welcome! I'm fully aware of the mast thing and I'll take a closer look at the original of the video (which is much better quality of course). You may well be right - watch this space. Thanks for looking in any case.
Okay, I concede defeat. It is III going the other way so yes the video must have been shot from IV and yes it is John at the helm which thinking about it does make it pretty conclusive. I've amended the descriptive text to suit.
