I agree Bob. But it's been tried before, I think, and the main problem seems to be all the parochial in-fighting when it come to agreeing a location. Wherever is selected, someone will have a better suggestion. Even major centres, like Exeter and St Katherine's Dock, have folded. I don't think there is an answer - even my pet hate, making the exhibits into giant Gameboys doesn't seem to guarantee success.

Meanwhile, what about my six-inch guns???

The link you supplied doesn't work. If you have info I would, as always, be very grateful.

I don't think the link has come across properly, it isn't all underlined - try a cut and paste.

Thanks John - I see what has happened now - I'm not very bright at midnight!

Any idea where I can track down a copy of Warship No 28, which I guess is from 1983? Looked on eBay and the obvious places, but nothing so far.

I think you find explosion museum is open on weekends council can not afford to keep it open all year round for political reasons! My mate still goes there every Tuesday to work on the exhibits.
