Title: Sea Trials for the SUN
Post by: tugmad on March 18, 2015, 04:24:03 pm

We finaly got round to running trials on a 1/24th scale model of the old Thames tug SUN, she was scratch built plank on frame last year ,but for various reasons only just been put in the water, the real one was built to go up through the low bridges on the River Thames hence the lowering mast and funnel.   Geo
