Hi Pat I wish you had told us of the museum models, it did appear that you might be hoovering up models. I do handle models usually from passed members estates and sometimes outsiders who contact us.
Recently I took on several models that had to be disposed of by a daughter. She clearly loved her dad and I told her where the models had gone and we organized some videos of them refurbed and running again. She was very happy, which makes my time freely given that much richer and worth while for me.
So tell us where they came from Pat all interesting and a nice piece of history.

I know what you are saying Roy but some of my models have been made by the Dockyard Museum in Portsmouth and they cost me a fortune so I keep them in good condition- I have a lot so if one gets sailed a couple of times a year now that’s about it - unfortunately my fingers do not work well now so I cant build myself so I have to source elseware anyway best of luck - due to all this unnecessary bitterness I will not be making anymore public posts
Stay safe and enjoy - I have no doubt the will have ongoing skits about ai

Hi Pat, noting the number of acquisitions you are making I presume you are aware of the sad and too low value that is put on working models. So at your own demise will there be much value placed on your fleet ?
Museums have strict guidelines on the construction of models they take in as looking after them is expensive. As a club we are getting almost embarrassed trying to find homes for models let alone selling them.
Anyone buying one of 'our' models also has to know how they work and how to look after them. One person I know bought a couple of RC model boats and every time he came out with them they were starting to fall apart with no attempt at fixing anything. Not seen them now for years!

Not just the Royal Navy, unfortunately. Many orchestra conductors and few musicians is a trend in many armed forces and police forces.

I think it would be nice to do something for charity - I have it in my will all my boats are auctioned and the proceeds go to a maritime charity
With the board system perhaps it would be good to remove the ladder board - I do take it very seriously but I never look up the answer online unless I get it wrong - you can see this as I have more that my fair share wrong
I openly admit I have not idea when it comes to merchant ship conditions and rules or racing rules my expertise is big sailing ships at least 100ft long and warships

A point made by Aless.... was the speed you/we get to move up the promotion ladder. Will there be 25 Fleet Admirals and not a leading seaman in sight?
When at my previous address there was a lady who used to take a donation box around to support retired or discharged seaman. I did mention the unfortunate wording but either the words had gone above her head or she was pulling our legs and daring us to comment.

I looked at 3 offerings cars, No laptops No, iPhones No, and I did not even like the RC set!
However Chad made me smile etc.
I was reminded of Itma and Much binding in the Marsh. The former was all waiting for associated catch phrases, some of which would be non-woke today. But as the miserable char lady would say. "Its being so cheerful that keeps me going".
The one liners and sketches were so fast in delivery that Gen Z would not be able to keep up.
