Looks like an excellent place to visit!

Thank you for posting the pictures. I learned some things from those.
That is the first opportunity I had to see how the "drags" were constructed.

Thanks for telling us about these museums Neil. I'll be sure to pay them a visit next time I'm visiting family in the area. 😉

Neil.
What a gem of a find.
Places like this are a veritable minefield of information.
Great pictures 👍👍.

I should have posted this earlier but have been beavering away in the workshop since my East Coat Tour.

Managed to visit the RNPSA museum in Lowestoft, a superb place with lots of information about minesweepers and a huge collection of models, many built by those serving on the ships.

I learned so much more from looking at the photos and models so I had to redo some of the work on my BYMS build as I picked up loads of detail missing from the plans.

The team found a large photo of 2079 and a build sheet, gave me copies for free but we did leave a decent donation when leaving.

Would encourage anyone with an interest in minesweepers to visit them, they have a huge archive and thousands of pictures.


Also popped into the Lowestoft Maritime Museum, another superb place with loads of models. It is a minute walk from the RNPSA museum
