One of the many things I like about this thread; if there are 2 ways to answer a question it will always be answered the wrong way.

Pfft, you call that snow. In my day we were glad of the snow. It were better than walking the 54 miles to the coal mine outside Harrogate in bare feet across boiling lava to work 18 hours down the mine before leaving the mine and walking another 16 miles to school. Of course in them days we were grateful for the chance to walk across lava and snow in our bare feet, we were lucky to even have feet. Course, anything less than 18 feet of snow was just a light dusting, we didn't call it snow until it were above the tops of t' trees.
Not only that, but we still had time to be respectful to us elders. And no-one ever had to lock their doors on account of thieves not being invented yet. And don't get me started on this so-called modern music. Or modern food.

To start answering and go off on a massive tangent before sauntering back to the original question briefly before totally losing interest and achieving a UNP or Faber.

When I was 12 I was at a jumble sale and found a book called Escort by D A Rayner. It was an original from 1955 but it somehow wandered off. Now I have a copy from The Naval Institute and I still enjoy digging it out and reading it. If you haven't read it I can heartily recommend it.

I've never read that one. I managed to scrounge a copy of U-Boat Killer and Walker, RN.
Hey, until I know that the big one is going for more than $31.70, I'm not shelling that out for the small one. Pfft...[:'(]ORIGINAL: Grollub
Pond ... pfft. Maybe you should buy this one instead then http://www.ipmsusa2.org/reviews/Kits/Ships/dragon_700_invincible/dragon_700_invincible.htm [:'(]
