HMS Guernsey's fine day out
« on: September 20, 2020, 11:16:13 am »

This is the Deans Marine model of HMS Guernsey, and I have to say what a brilliant model to sail, although the images do not show it the water in the docks was very choppy, she just rode them as here namesake would have don in the North Sea, very little roll either, in fact she performed so well that most members commented on the performance, this coupled with sunny weather made for a cracking day out.  Hope yo enjoy the images
