Saturday 4th Nov was FBP’s annual display at Fremantle Maritime Day. It’s a big day for us, a family day all about ships run by the RAN and the Fremantle Port Authority. As usual, the weather was great, with plenty on display to look at.
The Perth membership put on a good display with a nice mix of models great and small, adding up to approx 20m of models for the public to look at.
Pete Pawlete – USS Constellation and USS Scorpion
Robert Ritchie – Peter the Great.
Glen Howells – HMS Hermes.
Andrew Kemp – JMSDF Osumi and HNLMS Tromp.
Nigel Rockey – HMAS Toowoomba.
Sam Keller – Clyde puffer.
A big thank you to the guys who put in the time preparing, unpacking, answering all the questions and then packing it all up again at the end of the day.
Cheers
Robert

Re: FBP - Fremantle Maritime Day
Great display guys with some impressive vessels. We would love to do a maritime display with the navy or AWD but not in Adelaide

Hi Scott
As we all know Fleet base west is just down the coast from Fremantle and it is our second largest fleet base.But as the navy are part sponsors of the maritime day it's disappointing that only a submarine that is not open to the public. No surface ship has attended for the last 3 years. This is the perfect place and day for the navy to get there next victims i mean recruits. We will see what happens next year. And yes i understand ships in refit and on deployment take priority than a PR day. But we did have a good day
Cheers Glen
