My brother used to make Airfix kits of planes, ships etc as a kid then re-enact battles .... setting fire to the airplanes (German ones) and dropping them off the balcony of our Council estate flat whilst waving a triumphant Spitfire in the air (yes, he was quite mad from a young age).
That film clip looks remarkably like a scene he might have set up in our bathtub .... all it needs is a stubby set of toes poking out of the water on the 'horizon'.
Maybe we could start a Clan Film Club? Lock some Clannies up in the Ciradel and film them trying to get out, then release it as as a modern take on 'Escape from Colditz'.
Yes. That sounds exactly like me. The truth is out. I am Fifi's brother.
Also I have hijacked this thread (again) for the purpose of posting pictures of BIG BEAUTIFUL BUXOM BRITISH BATTLESHIPS!
HMS Prince of Wales.
Also Sookie Lala was spotted posting on Rants. Dunno if any of you recognize her, but she was a legendary rants poster back in the day.
I failed to keep my New Year's resolution before I even made it.

I have fond memories of her .... and she had so many hats and headgear!! I recall her campaigning long and hard to get a new forum for new forum users and this eventually came to pass but was spoiled by the notice-me-senpai-and-make-me-an-FMod brigade piling in and answering the same question ten times over on every thread.
One wonders at this latest fascination with battleships. Are you going to become a Jolly Jack Tar and run away to sea, 'Rugi? There's an interesting stretch of water out Bermuda way you might want to visit .....
I actually went in search of the Bermuda triangle. When I got there it made some excuse about being late for an appointment and left. You can imagine my disappointment.
HMS Warspite

Cop a load of those 15 inch guns. Cor Blimey. That's the sort of battleship you want with you out on a drunken night of debauchery.

Corugi is having some sort of mental meltdown of the metallic maritime flavour.
I think we should be on our guard; he may well pressgang the Clannies to crew the pocket battleship he has no doubt been welding together in his back yard these past several months.
