It has to be said that Jimo & Mrs. Jimo have great skill at model making, I would like tone thank them both for inviting me into their home to have a look at some of their work. Jimo's RAF flying boat tender is a thing to behold (sadly no picture) Mrs.Jimo's N guage Harry Potter railway is a 'work of art' in it's own right (will add picture when the lapps is sorted) The only question in my mind ....... will the live steam track be up & running by our next visit ?

Sorry they'really not typo's ..... bloody predictive text

Look forward to the picture of the Flying Boat tender, as I don't know what that is.
Sorry that I did not go on the day, I did some servicing on the Silverwing, so did not want a breakdown if the predicted bad weather got worse. As it turned out, it was not as bad as forecast.
it would have been good to meet 'The Bern', who has been active on the Silverwing site and helps us out. Thanks.

Jimo I've still got a MM sticker for you and hopefully will be able to pass it on when we eventually meet.

Cheers Muddyfox, don't know when that will be though.

Dave, This is the Fire Tender, a 1" to 1' scale (48" model), two originally built by Vosper marine at Southampton for MOD to be used as safety/rescue tenders for the RAF's Sunderland flying boats based at Calshot Water in the final days of the flying boat era. The model is equipped with working lighting, fire monitors throw water jets of 1 metre, emergency scrambling nets, hoist derek, casualty boarding ladder, suction hoses (aft), sick bay complete with bunks, blankets, pillows, table & First Aid cabinet.
