When I was in Tangier last month I went to the Malcolm Forbes Museum.
Lo and behold, there was a large (approximately 2 meters/yards) model
of HMS Rodney, with all her armament forward.
This museum is an awesome collection of model soldiers, many in
dioramas of famous battles. Naval battles, too. Not much on
aviation, though. I did notice that one observation balloon
(ca. WW I) had been made from a toilet float.
I recommend this museum highly to sci.military readers. How to
justify going to Morocco to see it is left as an exercise for the
readers, however.
