Solent Club Members David McNair-Taylor, Dave Reith and John Edwards who are also members of The Surface Warship Association exhibited some of their models in "Action Stations", Portsmouth Historic Dockyard on week end of 9/10 March as part of the Second World War event to commemorate the 72nd Anniversary of bomb damage to boathouse 6 (now home of Action Stations) on the night of 10/11 March 1941 (the second blitz on Portsmouth). The SWA display comprised models of WW2 warships which included HMS Hood, HMS Rodney, HMS Royal Oak and HMS Illustrious as well as models of cruisers, destroyers, minesweepers and landing craft. In addition on display were models of German E Boats and the heavy cruiser "Prinz Eugen". The event included a Air Raid Precaution Warden and a Home Front Display and handling tables of WW artefacts provided by "Explosions" Museum and the ability to meet and talk to WW2 characters.
