The Westland 18 sea trials will be underway within the next few days. We watched the Merlin's leave RNAS Culdrose today and they landed on the Queen Elizabeth this morning. They have them now tucked away in the hangars. Was a great sight to see them over our 11 days here now they embark their next mission in getting our carriers operational. https://ukdefencejournal...-states-for-f-35-trials/On the bench 1/350 Revell Tirpitz Platinum Edition (Pontos PE and Wooden deck) plus extra Eduard PE set and extra MK1 door sets.
