    A great subject, Craig. I would have thought her a little narrow for an 18 footer, but then I'm more familiar with the early boats. John

    'Tamahine' was a very nice looking ferry, Richard. I'm sure you'll do her justice. John

    As a sideline to this: my late father-in-law was the met. officer on a Lancaster squadron airfield in Scotland during the war. To the day he died he was ashamed that he hadn't done 'his bit'. He said, "I used to send those boys off every night knowing that some of them wouldn't come back, while I just sat at the airfield." As far as he was concerned, the fact that the R.A.F. had grabbed him as a met. officer the moment he joined up because he had been working for the Bureau of Meteorology and the fact that the airfield was regularly attacked by German forces didn't seem to count. In his eyes, he hadn't done 'his bit' because he didn't fly with the raids. Of course, the fact that the met officer wasn't allowed to fly and the fact that he wasn't allowed to transfer to air crew also didn't count - at least to him. John

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.
