Something in the classified section of the local paper caught my eye...
“Model HMS Victory, Self build, Part built with parts and instructions cost £750 will accept £100”
Yes you are reading that right, the paper is an evening paper but comes out with the national daily papers, mine came through the door at 7:30am, I thought that might be a bit tooooooo early to phone so I waiting until 9:00am and phoned.
The seller had not even had chance to go and get a copy of the paper to see if it was in there, her Son was actually walking to the shop as I was on the phone!
It was her husbands kit sadly he died before he could finish it so it was up for sale, the only snag was buyer must collect.
Whilst it was in the same town it was a good six miles (as the crow flies) from me and not having transport it would have been bus and walk, thankfully the lady was willing to deliver as so...
Sill a fair bit too do.
