Yes she is just laid-up at the moment, resting as the actors say.  Nearing my 80th birthday so might be a bit restricted in hauling it about.  I am fit but poor so another consideration :embarrassed:   Hope you are well, regards to all the guys in the club that helped that weekend. If the lottery comes up I`ll be back...chaufuer driven Transit tow wagon , Transit with V8 !!!

Would be great if we could all get together. Am sure if we all put our heads together something could be sorted. Have the invincible and the type 45 sailing would be amazing

Yes I always thought about trying to get all the manned models in one place at the same time.  It would certainly catch the public`s eye and if the media were informed it could raise the image of our hobby. There are a couple of submarines ( surface runners ) a frigate, a King George V battleship and another semi-scale warship in the UK. The late Bill Wilkinson`s paddle tug was a great attraction at shows. Maybe some of the little Dutch canal tugs  would come . There are a couple of French manned models too..  the model aircraft scene have large models including 200mph gas turbine powered jets and they pull in the public to shows.  Oh well  lottery dreams again :((
