Is it just me? I've been trying to get the Naval Historical Center's website for a couple of weeks now....keeps poping up the message "Can't find website". Have they changed URL? I've done both Google and Yahoo and can't find any other listings besides the ones that don't work.

Well I remember passing through the Glasgow docks in the summer of 66. I could not believe it. Beside the dockside was a stack of gun tubes. They were also reported in the press. The article in the Evening Citizen said that they had been manufactured for the U.S. Navy at the Parkhead forge of William Beardmore & Co. It would be around July 1966 when I saw them and I saw them at Yorkhill Quay. I beleive they were picked up by an American vessel - very easy to check C Mac Kay ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Model club & SMMLcon Information ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1) From "John Sheridan" Subject IPMS Nationals I would like to stat this now since the NATs are around the corner.
