Hello Martin, sorry but I couldn't make it to Whitehaven, weather during travel would have been too risky. Glad you liked the event, it just gets better every year. I believe the weather cleared on Sunday there. it cleared here too so I went to a round of the tug-towing championships at Greenock, only a 2hr drive. Some serious models there ( all about 1/32 or 1/24th) but I wanted to see some of the new Springer Class tugs but only two turned up and I had two so only four there. They weren't competing but they had fun. The chap with the battleship and submarine at Whitehaven is Roger Wilkinson. I`ll PM you his contact details. How are your plans for a manned model coming along ? I`ve been off-line intermittently so haven`t kept up with this forum. can you post any pics of the Whitehaven boats/ships/planes ?
