Laerte Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 As my neighbour Franco I also served in the Italian Navy just for about two years, not so long as you. I'm very happy to see another ship builder and so "welcome on board" from Italy, brother. Hope to see soon your progress on HMS Fife, I'll follow your work with real pleasure. A friendly scratch to the sweet cocker, Fair Winds, Laerte P.S.: Please forgive my english... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
