    Sand Barges
    You're right Colin. I believe I'm right in saying that next to the River Severn the Taw is up there as being one of the fastest flowing rivers in the UK. It must made for an eventful time for the bargemen. Paul

    Question of the Day?
    I do not agree with todays answer as far as I remember the “correct” answer applies to waves hitting shallower water. Squat calculations are based on Bernoullis Theorem But this is only my humble opinion🤔

    American Scout C-2 Freighter
    Jealous! I was a caddie for 11 years and as a result an obsessive player. Never got my handicap below 8, but the first time I broke 80 was one of the happiest days of my life. Sadly drifted away from the game to chase skirts. But, never forgot my old looping days. 😉

    Clyde Model Dockyard
    Had this arrive today in amazing packaging, really good to see the Clyde name again and the chap that’s running it has some nice models in preparation. Have a feeling I’ll be getting one of his clinker dinghies and a brushless Seagull when they are launched. https://www.clydemodeldockyard.com/shop

    Another 1:6 project
    Picked up this scratch built sailing dinghy at the same Toy Fair that I got the Wilson’s RAF launch from for the grand sum of £5. Has a certain charm and won’t take much to get it sailing, have a keel fin and bulb ready for the 3D printer, just need to design and build a rig. Borrowed the Action Man driver from my RNLI Jet Ski and he looks the right scale. Think the long term plan will be to make a trailer to tow this boat behind the 1:6 scale Amphicar that is slowly coming along

    Wilson RAF launch
    What a brilliant little find! Although you may be reluctant to build it (?) making a copy of the parts and building those parts would make a lovely model and keep the kit original. I hope you show the kit parts (and the build progress?) on here .........👍
