Received an email from "Col Bartlett ex ERA and proud of it!"
Which included the following...
My last posting before retirement from the RAN was as the curator of the RAN Historical Collection at Spectacle Island in Sydney Harbour. One of the exhibits is a large ship model of the Majestic, still in excellent condition. Apparently it is the original builders model of the Bismark, complete with gold fittings! It came to Australia on the carrier HMAS Melbourne which was to have been HMS Majestic, before being sold to the Australian government.
I am delighted to include some photos he sent me.
Notice that as is custom only half the ship is made and a mirror is used to show full scale.
