I used to own a fairey fulmar, I think it is this one,
mast replaced with an alloy one,
a distinct modification was carried out to the center plate, it was modified to be lifted by a wire rope from a winch in the cockpit.
the original plate lifting point was cut off , this made the top of the center plate flat
if this is the boat, I have some photos,

Hi Brian
Thanks for the post. Its great to hear from an ex Fulmar owner!
I believe that F53 has been named Pilgrim since the sixties, so not sure if this your old boat. We don’t have a ‘Wild Goose’ on our Fulmar register but this most likely reflects a lack of information about many of the Fulmars. F53 Pilgrim is now in Scotland. I am not sure whether she has a wire rope taken to the cockpit for the keel. Perhaps someone will respond who does know?
Are you able to upload the photos you have to help with identification? (You might find this easier to do if you create a new post – adding multiple photos can be done quite easily there).
Cheers
Nick
