I don't know what is going to happen to them yet. But as soon as I know I will be posting it here.

I don't where you could get plans for them. But If you make a model of one of them I love to see it

As of last night the Caribo has started it's way in to the canal.
And the Smallwood is now at Port Said, Egypt.

India seems to be buying a fair few ships that still have a decent life span left in them (we don't KNOW, do we- they might be wrecks under the nice paint).

Even the Pride of Telemark went for a price over 50% higher than you'd expect from a scrap hulk. There has been a decline in the worldwide price of scrap steel over the past year- although it went back up after the quake in Japan.

Odd.
