Setley's own environmental disaster was averted when a large super-tanker, having lost engine power near to a rocky shore, was salvaged by the club's ocean going tug "Phoenix"; see the dramatic action in the "Latest Photos Gallery"! Also photos of "HMS Dido" and the MFV "Marignan" on a day when lack of wind left the sailing vessels drifting.

Alan Bond's "Marine Engine Sound Unit" is now available from Technobots as an assembled pre-programmed unit in petrol, diesel, and steam versions. Read Alan's description in our Hints and Tips section. New on our Members Adverts page is a Graupner battery charger offered by Pete Bryant. Finally, thanks to Lorna Soffe, more boats in our Photo galleries have been associated with their owners. Please check the "Unknown Owner" category and if you recognise a model please let me know.

Yesterday was sunny, but with a cool wind; photos in our "Latest Photos Gallery" include several models either new to this web site or not seen for some time... and two "Al Khubar" type tugs in joint manoevres (apparently the full size "A-K 3" sank after collision with "A-K 1", but that was not re-enacted on Sunday!).
