Thanks ------------- Don Only a number, not even a name. How shall posterity hear of thy fame? Replies: Posted By: Christian Date Posted: 26 February 2007 at 6:30pm Yes, from Deans Marine. 1/24th scale, i.e. 35 3/4", the big ones being 71'6". Posted By: dgray Date Posted: 26 February 2007 at 6:33pm Thanks Christian.  Did you see whe Danish/German Minesweeper at http://www.bmpt.org.uk/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=284&PN= 1 Any ideas? Posted By: Christian Date Posted: 26 February 2007 at 6:37pm Yes, and no. I found it odd that a minesweeper would have only one engine though, screw fouling must be an occupational hazard for them! Posted By: dgray Date Posted: 26 February 2007 at 8:57pm I agree probably a bad design unless seconded to minesweeping. Mind you most MFV's were single screw thst did minesweeping so I guess the configuration worked.
