Title: Hello from Cornwall
Post by: Cornishnavy on August 13, 2014, 04:58:14 AM

Hi Everyone, Just a quick intro. Retired from the Royal Navy. Have made just a few models over the years. The first in Malta in 1976, a yacht with a simple self-steering vane. for my son. Sailed well. Then mainly scale models of Nelson era ships. Latest was a radio controlled model of HMS Badger, Nelson's first official command. Now started on a Director Class Tug for radio control. Would appreciate any photos of the deck equipment.

Hi

Welcome to the forum.

I don't know if you have seen the RFA Ships site which has photos of all the Director class as well as just about every other RMAS vessel?
