Igtham Mote - Fathers Day
Display - 2009 - Gallery |
| The beautiful surrounds
of Igtham Mote in Kent was the setting for the Cygnets
Model Boat Club's first public outing with HMS Kent, and
what a day. The National Trust made us feel
extremely welcome and a big thank you to all the Cygnets
members that turned out to support the day. |
| From the time Ightam
Mote opened up a steady crowd of people filed passed our
display. Several of us managed to put our boats on the
lake in front of our display, one member managed to be
the first on the water, but almost as quick managed to
park his daughters boat in the reeds, okay it was me. |

| HMS Kent was a big
speaking point through out the days, and she really did
the Club proud, below are some photographs that were
taken just before the gates opened, for the rest of the
day there were just to many people around her which made
taking photographs very difficult. |
| HMS Kent didn't sail
today as the lake would have been a bit tight to manage
a turn, so she stayed on her display stand, but this
allowed everyone to get up close and personal. |
| Above is a selection of
some of the members boats that were on display,
photographs by Paul and Hannah Dengate. |

kindly been provided by Richard Gardner, a different
perspective of HMS Kent. |
