    Hi Carlos,
    "i would be surprised if it actually floats as its quite heavy lol.we shall see!!"

    The original weighed in at something over 47.000 tons and she managed to float for a number of years 😉
    Any news on your refit?
    Cheers, Doug 😎

    I agree Ian👍
    First thing to do would be to check for obvious cracks / holes, then float her and load to the waterline to find out what she can carry as equipment plus ballast.

    I remember something very similar operated buy the RN based on narrowboat hulls around 50 or 60 foot long. I have memories of these attending Lincoln Water Festival on the Brayford Pool in the centre of Lincoln in the late 70's too.

    Carlos Have faith my friend it will float!!

    It must have been back in the '70's I remember seeing a fleet of model warships that could be sat in and operated. There was a frigate. an aircraft carrier and a submarine. I saw them at a waterways rally on a canal somewhere but don't know the location of their home dockyard. Then there are the ones used in the Scarborough battle re-enactments.

    Cheers, Nerys.

    Wow!😮
    Why bother with RC?
    Get in and drive her yourself!😀
    Seriously though!
    Looking forward to seeing how you equip her, not to mention how you launch her!
    Plenty of scope for special functions and pyrotechnics in a hull that size.👍
    Keep us informed please.
    Good luck, cheers, Doug 😎
