It took seven years to build and took up nearly his entire living room, but now Paul Cook, 41, from Sprowston, can finally set sail at Eaton Park Model Boat Pavilion with his 9ft 9in USS Lionfish.
A member of Norwich Model Boat Club and manager of Hobby Stores in Watton, Mr Cook’s model is more than a toy – the sub is a copy of a one that was blown up in the 1988 TV series War and Remembrance starring Robert Mitchum, when models were used for special effects.

At last! Something awesome comes out of Norwich...I knew we kept that place for a reason!

Inter-county rivalries aside, that is a very cool model, I hope it comes south at some point to one of the local model shows.
