castle261:
I was working in the Dockyard - when some of the younger members  fathers were. (1953 - 1984)
I made a model of H.M.S. Eskimo - 4 ft 6 long - using cut up tin cans + solder - I was working on H.M.S. Eskimo - as I was modelling it - It got lost in a move - anyway - when it was finished I went
to No 8 machine shop to inquire about having a glass cover - to house the model - Later that got
lost too - I could not find a driver to take it - out of the yard - I had a cycle then - I let it drop.
I did make a model of tin - of the Short Brothers planes - the Maia / Mercury with a 16 inch wing span the same size as the Shorts apprentices made to be presented to the test pilot Mr. Lancaster.
In the dockyard - that took two years - I have three photos of them - but I am not technical enough to put them on here.
