  • Theromseymodellernovember2
    NOVEMBER 2013 THIS MONTH This month’s Romsey Modeller is the biggest yet running to an extortionate 34 pages! Much of the content is focused on the club’s first display at Scale ModelWorld which proved to be a brilliant weekend. Both Paul and I couldn’t have been happier with our display which was one of the best presented in the hall. One sad piece of news concerns Brian Boot who’s article on his Vickers Valiant is found in this magazine. Brian Sampson wrote to inform me that on his way to Telford the driver of the car in which Brain was travelling had a heart attack and hit the accelerator instead of the brake, they struck the barrier and ended in the ditch. Brian is currently in West Middlesex hospital flat on his back. Brain went see him at weekend and hopefully will have more news on Wednesday. I’m sure you will join me in sending Brian our best wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery. Just a reminder that it’s our annual competition on Wednesday , I am looking forward to seeing the results of this year’s efforts on the competition table. All the best Tony IPMS Club Secretary This is the newsletter of Romsey Modellers a group of plastic modellers based in Southern Hampshire. We cater for all modelling genres and skill levels from beginners to well seasoned gurus. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of the month from 8pm to 10pm in Ampfield, Hampshire, where we often run workshops and club competitions but more importantly have a good chat about our hobby.

  • Crónica De Un Viaje De Buceo a Scapa Flow. Islas Órcadas (Orkney)
    En 2010 hice un viaje de un mes por Escocia, con mi mujer y una pareja de amigos. Ninguno de ellos buceaba, pero, aún así, nos organizamos para que yo pudiese ir al agua, en Scapa Flow, durante dos días. Fueron mis cuatro primeras inmersiones en aguas frías, y me dejaron profundamente impresionado. Tanto que, tres años más tarde, en 2013, organicé con Carlos Blanco, mi compañero de buceo habitual, un viaje de doce días a las Órcadas (Orkney) para poder disfrutar plenamente de los pecios del Flow. El 31 de Agosto salimos de Las Palmas en un vuelo directo de RyanAir con destino a Edimburgo, a donde llegamos a las seis de la tarde, para recoger un coche de alquiler y emprender rápidamente los 425 Km. del viaje hasta el puerto de Scrabster, a donde llegamos pasadas las doce de la noche. Pasamos la noche en el Ferry Inn, en el mismo puerto, al lado de la terminal y, el domingo día 1 de septiembre, embarcamos, a las doce del mediodía, en el primer ferry de la Serco NorthLink con destino a Stromness. El viaje en el ferry fue terrible, olas de más de tres metros y un fuerte viento que no presagiaban nada bueno para el buceo de los días siguientes. Una espesa niebla lo cubría todo y ni siquiera se veían las islas cuando pasábamos por los estrechos. Finalmente llegamos a Stromness, bajo una ligera lluvia y nos dirigimos al Royal Hotel, donde nos alojaríamos durante nuestra estancia en las islas y, tras descargar el equipaje, fuimos a visitar Scapa Scuba, nuestro centro de buceo.

  • History of Scapa Flow
    HISTORY OF SCAPA FLOW Scapa Flow is a body of water about 120 square miles (311 square kilometres) in area with an average depth of 98 – 131 feet (30 – 40 meters). It is encircled by the Orkney Mainland and South Isles, making it a sheltered harbour with easy access to both the North Sea and Atlantic Ocean. The name, Scapa Flow, comes from the Old Norse Skalpaflói, meaning ‘bay of the long isthmus’, which refers to the thin strip of land between the town of Kirkwall and Scapa Bay. It was much used in Viking times and there are several references to it in the saga of the Earls of Orkney, Orkneyinga Saga. The first mention of a fleet of ships using Scapa Flow was in 1198 when Earl Harald Maddadsson raised a great force to resist a rival’s claim to half of the earldom. A spy travelled to South Ronaldsay where he climbed a hill and saw the earl’s army and a great fleet of ships, many of them large warships. Earl Harald defeated his rival in a battle in Caithness, but incurred the wrath of both the kings of Scotland and Norway as a result of his actions. Another great fleet (or at least the remnants of one) found safety in Scapa Flow in 1263. King Hákon IV of Norway sailed to Orkney with a mighty flotilla, then on to the Norwegian owned esternW Isles as a demonstration of his sea power to the King of Scotland. The fleet was delayed from leaving because of negotiations with Scotland over the disputed territory, but in the end the autumnal gales that the King of Scotland had anticipated wrecked many ships and the Norwegians were defeated by the Scots at the Battle of Largs.

  • Port Edgar in the First World War As Early As November 1911, The
    Port Edgar in the First World War As early as November 1911, the Admiralty had made enquiries regarding the use of Port Edgar as an oil fuel depot for Fleet destroyers and other small craft. In the spring of 1916, the Admiralty took steps to officially acquire Port Edgar and the surrounding land. Warships and fleet tenders had been using the limited facilities at the port since the outbreak of war. This followed the decision to build a self contained Torpedo Boat Destroyer Depot on the site. By early 1916, work had been progressing for some time to achieve this. The base was to be an annexe of the newly completed naval dockyard at Rosyth. The land at Port Edgar was owned by Vice Admiral Charles Dundas of Dundas, and the North British Railway. The property was acquired under the terms of the Defence of the Realm Act (DORA). Prior to the Admiralty taking this decision, an extensive survey was conducted. A detailed insight is given of how Port Edgar looked in these days, from this report written by the Superintendent Civil Engineer Rosyth in May 1916: The area claimed by the North British Railway includes the roadway on the south side of the property. The road being theirs is repaired by them. At the south west corner a piece of land is occupied by Messrs Toppham Jones and Railton, in connection with their Admiralty contract for dredging under agreement with the North British Railway company. They also have a timber jetty which is being built close to the lighthouse.
