I've not managed to get to the Hornby site at all. Pity - their E-mail is entitled "The wait is over....', but not for me it isn't. I may be tempted by a clan - lovely looking based on the photos I've seen, but I never actually saw a real one; it's sad that they've all gone really, but I gather they weren't such a great success.

When handled appropriately this class is known to have performed well. There may have been detail design aspects that required attention (similar to the poor draughting of the Riddles 8P) but there is unlikely to have been anything fundamentally wrong with the design.

So I gathered - on further reading. It will be interesting to see the proposed new build clan 'Hengis' and how it performs. If it's anything like the Duke of Gloucester (some similarities there) it should be rather good.
