Hello All, New to this forum but stumbled across it in my browsing! Wasn't sure which topic to put this under but thought I would say that I am part of a WWII Royal Navy Reenactment Group based at Chatham Dockyard, Kent, UK. We are seeking more members if anyone is interested in living history. : www.thegreyfunnelline.co.uk or email me! : deborah.foreman1@btopenworld.com Look forward to hearing from people hopefully! Deb
My pleasure! One of the few ways of showing others what it was like and what went on. We try our best!.. besides.. hardly anyone reenacts the Navy! Deb
My pleasure! One of the few ways of showing others what it was like and what went on. We try our best!.. besides.. hardly anyone reenacts the Navy! Deb Kind of tough to do when most of the settings for naval re-enactments are ships...and most of them are sunk or scrapped. I guess you can use museum ships like HMS Belfast and HMS Alliance. But how do you re-enact the Bismarck chase?
Ah well our group can out do all that! We are based in Chatham Dockyard and have constant and free access on HMS Cavalier, HMS Ocelot and HMS Gannet, which we incorporate into show scenarios etc. We've also got the Admiral's Offices in the Dockyard to use.. a admiralty constabulary office that we restored, not to mention 2 RN morris commercials, 2 BSA M20s, an austin goodwood staff car, and plenty of RN weapons... I would say our portrayal is pretty good! hehe...
We've tried :sign_rofl: but you just can't get the staff these days! But if you know anyone who has a love for the Navy and fancies a bit of reenactment, vintage vehicle driving or weapons firing.. you know where to direct them Deb
Sounds like you have the re-enactment program well in hand...I'd like to see these events. If you borrow U-505 in America, you could re-enact the capture of U-110.
