John , That is great info. Wonder if they could be persuaded to post some background and pics. It must be nightmare with rope and sails etc. Anybody know what happened to the "Hornblower,RN" tv series models. Some of those were big enough to be manned. On a more commercial note, here are two links to professional use of manned models.
www.portrevel.com and
www.warsashcentre.co.uk/c-shipPicture from the latter site showing one of their tankers. Edit I cant seem to get the link to work but it comes up OK on Google.
