hornet Posted October 31, 2014 #1 Posted October 31, 2014 (edited) Today marks 100 years since the first convoy of 30 000 Australian Troops left from Albany, Western Australia, for the Middle East and on to Gallipoli in World War One. My stepson is a crew member on board the Collins Class Submarine H.M.A.S Rankin - Which is taking part in the Australian Navy Sail Past as part of the commemorations in Albany this morning. A very exciting day for Albany!!!!

Timmo Posted October 31, 2014 #2 Posted October 31, 2014 Nice. There was a bit of a commemoration with frigate sail past in Wellington a couple of weeks ago to mark the centenary of the departure of the NZ expeditionary force. hornet 1 Quote Current build Enterprise class 28-gun frigate 1774 - scratchbuild 1:36 RC Completed builds Cruizer class brig - scratchbuild 1:36 RC HM Bomb Vessel Granado - Caldercraft HM Cutter Sherbourne - Caldercraft
