Warship Weeks Ww2

A Memory of Gillingham.

During WW2 my Grandfather Albert William Sancto (a retired dockyard cabinet maker) made a very detailed scale model of a warship but was defeated when it came to the small plane that sat on a catapult on the deck. My Father (shipwright RN) came to his rescue carving the tiny aircraft from a solid piece of wood. During Warship week the model was displayed in the window of the High Street gents outfitters (almost opposite St Marks Church) and then raffled to raise funds.
