HMS Trincomalee, Britain’s oldest warship still afloat, is pleased to announce that it will become a full subsidiary of the National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN).

The move brings the warship, the last of Admiral Lord Nelson’s frigates, into the ever-growing fleet of historic ships under the care of the NMRN which includes the world famous HMS Victory, HMS Caroline, the sole survivor from the Battle of Jutland in 1916 and the newly refurbished HMS Alliance, the UK’s only surviving British WW2 era submarine.

Hi All, BigGrin

Well, Cool Cool Cool

Duxford "Flying Legends" this Sunday

Next visit, then has to be the "Tricomalee"

I`m also in the middle of a "MAN CAVE" build. Laugh Laugh

MORE ON THAT SOON Crying Crying

When all is sorted, I`ll be back to building frenzy.

Not much in the way of building going on at the moment, as trying to sort out our lives,as housing association is going to fit new windows/doors and new boiler and central heating system (all in three weeks), but not sure which three weeks.

Which means I have to move and replace nearly 1000 Litres of fish tanks, move everything in my crowded work room and work in the meantime.

OMG I`m glad they say they are fluid with their renovation dates.

So, man cave and build updates will follow ??

When I can Confused

Regards
