Here you go!!
Here is the presentation of the model:
LtoR: Warrant Officer Nicolas Covey, Alf Ramsey (Babcock - helped me with the plans for the build), Darrell Burge (Airfix), Dave Coventry (Me), Colin Fisher (Hornby), Andy McCue (Scoonie Models), Lieutenant Commander H E "Monty" Montgomery.
After the briefing, it was off to the ship dressed in appropriate gear - hard hat, goggles, overalls and big boots!
As well as outside the ship, we were shown around the hangar (below), forward bridge, ops room, weapon loading bays, sick bay, galley, dining hall and a lot of passageways and ladders!
After the tour, Darrell and I were introduced to Captain Simon Petitt, Commanding Officer of HMS Queen Elizabeth. He asked me how accurate the model was and I just said it is for others to judge!
A brilliant occasion which will remain in my memory for a long, long time.
