Went to the viewing of a local auction this afternoon, mainly because the other half is interested. However quite a few of the lots must have belonged to a marine engineer as there were lots of boxes of books on ships, merchant and military, and one box of marine modelling books, including an old Vic Smeed book. There were two 'professional' models and a box of photos, (several hundred) all of different ships. For a change I was the one being dragged away.
