Greetings once again from pugwash

Hello all - glad to see the website is up and running again. I would have joined earlier but have been having
a weeks flyfishing on the River Lyon in Perthshire and got back this weekend.
For those that don't know me Im ex Royal Navy and now retired from Northumbria Police
my interests are 1/96 scale warships, particularly the ones I served onboard. Have completed HMS Juno
(Leander) and recently finished HMS Aisne a converted battle class destroyer. Have all the parts ready
to start HMS Leopard a Cat class diesel frigate. For those that do know me I am still a grumpy old so and so,
just older as I qualified for my pension today.

Geoff

Nice to see you here Geoff, wondered where you'd got to.

Welcome aboard Geoff....Enjoy the fun..

you lucky man geoff.....did you catch much, or like me,......just go for the fresh air.

My mother used to say that my lack of fish was cos my feet smelled too much

...... and Happy Birthday for yesterday.

Hello Geoff. Trout or salmon.?
Or like me nowadays. When I fish the fly I do it with a newspaper. But in the spring then there are excellent conditions here for the trout.
Hope you have a long and good retirement.
And maybe we will see many great ships, from your yard.
Sincerely, Ole

Thanks for all the greetings - yes the fishing was great - just for trout this time
but when we go back it will be for the salmon- one lad had 4 in two hours so
it looks a great wee river to try again.
Now back to work on Aisne - just before I went I re-ballasted it with lead flashing
still very wibbly wobbly so today I cast a lead bulb keel (fumes were awful)
and will try with that.

Geoff
