Ok, so it isn't about Waterlooville. But i took the No. 40 bus down to Canoe Lake in Portsmouth at the weekend and watched some of the 'Henry 500' model boat display. Here are some photos:
Yes that that is someone getting inside a model battleship. The Portsmouth Model Boat Display Team have large 'manned' models.
This model 'ship of the line' is used in model battle simulations. Some of the guns actually 'fire' blanks. Other ships sink and others have there masts blown off. All via radio control.
A battleship from the WWII period.
