I had a better collection of plastic model ships in the 50’s and early 60’s than the British have in real ships today.
Models by Marx, Revell and one other company.
Started with:
PT 109
USS Nautilus
USS Enterprise
USS Missouri
Missile Destroyer
possibly a cruiser
POGO vertical takeoff aircraft and other model
B 36, B-52; B-47, B 57, F80, 84C, 86, 94, 100 104, 105
Corsair, F 70 Lockheed , many others from WW2 & Korean war era.
If I could find them (given away years ago), I would lend them to the British so that they could double their forces.
Dream on!
even had a Spitfire
Worry not—the Royal Navy can, and will be rebuilt in time. England needs to figure out what it wants to be—an islamic nation, a weak state of a German dominated Europe or a great power. It is up to them. I believe they will select a great power. Why? They will have no choice—Germany will not give them a choice. As for the Muslims—they were be pushed out or controlled in short order once the UKIP dominate politics. I see England and France taking a big role in Africa in the future.
