Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

I suspect it will go on display with the Royal Navy Museum in Portsmouth Dockyard, as they appear to be the ones managing the project. Hopefully they might be able to borrow some hardware from the Tank Museum at Bovington to illustrate what it was intended for.

I guess that query walked right into that one lol.

:lol:

It would definitely be a great idea to have some other museum pieces on deck. And imagine if you could run her up a beach every now and then and disembark some armour and infantry ?

Yup plan is to have her on display in Pompey.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Be good if they could raise these two Centaurs and restore them for display on deck - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1041825/Revealed-The-astonishing-D-Day-tanks-the-English-Channel.html
