Top man gixxer. A friend of the family went to the Falklands too on HMS Broadsword. A whole load of us went down to the docks to greet them home and I was quite young then but brilliant at that age being able to get on the ship and have a look around after it saw action and got hit by an unexploded bomb. Respect :wink:

I was taken by the realness of the models, squint your eyes and you could hear the diesels and smell the fumes. Very nice stoney day that mon,for an old geezer especially 8).
