    I may have posted this before, but the picture above , brought it all back. This was my eye view of what I used to do. I was an Aircraft Handler in the Royal Navy.(1958/1968) The Branch was responsible for Air Traffic Control, Firefighting ( Crash Rescue ashore and at sea) Aircraft movements .My last seagoing post was HMS Victorious as a Flight Deck director. The painting is of HMS Hermes, with a Sea Vixen taxiing and a Gannet 'going round again' The director on the left has just handed the a/c over to the viewer. Exactly as we did it hundreds of times on 'the Vic' (Best Job In The World)

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
