    Today The Mighty Hood and the Strassbourg tore up the local pond for some PR time, also in attendance where some of the local Treaty skippers, David's Iowa, and Gerrys Bearn represented the other format. A great many kids were at the local park, and asked to drive around the boats, which made for great fun by all. with 72ahs of 6volt batteries in the Hood, it ran all day, a fan favorite, the Hood would make high speed passes in front of the smaller ships which were at the mercy of the huge wake from the large Battlecruiser.

    Very nice indeed.
    It must have been pre-war, as the Brit and Frenchie ran together. Searching for pocket-battleships no-doubt!
