Title: Diamond Jubilee 1897
Post by: victorian on January 18, 2012, 08:10:37 pm
There's a lot of publicity being given today to the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee celebrations and the Thames Pageant.

The last Diamond Jubile was in 1897 and I have models of several ships that took part in the famous Spithead fleet review of that year, including Turbinia. I have come across quite a few other models from that period and I wonder if others would be interested in a re-creation of the 1897 Spithead review to co-incide with this years celebrations? I know from experience that holding models in a line ahead formation is quite a challenge and the manoevres might be fairly entertaining!

Could be interesting O0 Evolutions under flag :embarrassed:

Any idea where I can download a chart for the day or a list of all the ships (British and Foreign)?
