Title: Chatham Dockyard
Post by: Nordsee on September 15, 2011, 03:07:10 pm

We are going to visit the Royal Dockyard at Chatham in October and I heard that there was a very good Model Shop there. I have searched the Web Site for  Dockyard but apart from a shop that sell Parrots and Pirate flags, no sign of a Model Shop! Is it still there, and if so, where will I find it!

If your just going there for the modelshop just say to security and you get in free.  ok2  But do go to the model shop as they use cameras or buy the family ticket £40. ish 2 adults and 2 children. You can use that ticket many times during the year but not on special occasions. Security  will point u the way. Say hi to Rob for me.

The shop's OK, normally very little stock when I've been in there which hasn't been for a while. Also a model boat club run on the mast pond over by the museum entrance.

That is Coastal Motor Boat 103. It may be possible to get plans but I'm not sure where from.
