Oh, for those days when the Royal Navy could still be classed as a 'navy'; when the fleet was still large enough to demand the RN trained its own engineering officers at RNEC Manadon (now a housing estate!).
As a lad, I well remember going, after school, to watch the launches of Cleopatra and Danae. My father was involved in the design and refit projects for ICARA, too.
Look forward to the release of the models.
