Darby Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Cheers Steve, Looks like a different berth from when I last went alongside there on her. I may be wrong though. After all, I did nearly get lost trying to find the A19 from there when I left her. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw last night Darby a few of the crew lost her and they were only having a bevvy in the town!HMS Blyth is in front of her I think.

Darby Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I remember a couple of hostelries nearby but can't recall the names apart from 'The East Ender.' That made the Rovers Return look like a five star hotel. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darby Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Dear God! I remember holes in the walls, the stickiest floor I've ever known, someone sparked out on a seat, only cider left on tap and a feeling I wouldn't get out alive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevej60 Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 Is there a kit of her or Albion available ? I believe the Naval modellers speak very highly of this manufacturer pricey but beautifully cast. http://www.anticsonline.co.uk/2194_1_106310863.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We used to have a nightclub in Hebburn with just such a floor, I knelt down on the 'carpet' one night to tie my lace and the resulting mark left on my jeans was there for the rest of their life, resisting all attempts at removal. This place was so classy that we used to go there after doing a 'job & knock' night shift at Blyth power station for a couple of pints, straight off the boiler in work gear so you can imagine how minging we were & nobody ever so much as batted an eyelid, happy days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
