Boy's gotta have a hobby.

Not my thing, but I know what it is to have something that makes you smile whenever you see it.

Boasting again, Steve!

I think it's brill too, and I'd like it, but I don't think the wife'd go for it - it was all I could do to get a signed copy of The Two Ronnies 'Fork Handles' sketch on the wall. *just waiting for the unfunny one to go and it'll be worth a fortune*

I like it ...

Man, I am jealous of your poster.

I purchased them over thirty years ago and whilst my fathers was framed and displayed (like the example above, mine is still in the cardboard tube it was delivered in.

Makes a nice addition to the gaming room decor!

Noit so much an investment but more of a 'that looks nice to have'.

Ted Briggs was quite the nice fellow. My friend David led the subsea expedition on the HOOD which you might like to see. You can read the book "Hood and Bismark" for more info ..

I will post a link to follow on. http://www.hmshood.com/hoodtoday/2001expedition/index.htm

Ted Briggs, the sole living survivor from Hood, was transported to the expedition vessel to pay a final tribute to his former friends and shipmates and was allowed to physically release the memorial plaque on to Hood.
