I was given the programme, it is of the 1935 Jubilee Fleet Review at Spithead, attended by HRH King GeorgeV and Queen Mary.

There were a total of 136 ships there, from Tenders to Battleships and Aircraft Carriers, to Submarines and all things between. Enclosed are a couple of photos, there are a total of 50 pages, not bad for 6pence.

Hey, that would be an idea for the jubilee… a model warship review..should be no problem with the numbers if chaps are on 2.4G sets…

 

Carriers in front, followed by Destroyers etc etc… smaller scales/sizes to the rear??

Royal yots and..others to make up the numbers….could be quite a spectacle !!
