[JIM BAUMANN]

On a visit to Portsmouth Dockyard saw this fine larger scale model for sale in the bookshop @ the entrance to the Dockyard

HMS Amethysts is of course the vessel featured in the film 'Yangtze incident'

The model is pretty sharp -- and could be useful for people building their models thereof....


Best wishes

Yes! Haha, it was in the middle of the room when I visited it in October - I entered the shop even though it wasn't quite open for business yet, the door being unlocked.
