Unsung vessels like Lancastria and Alcantera that played a vital part in moving troops or escorting convoys around the world, often encountering tough opposition that they had never been designed to meet! | Albatros 1/1250 RMS Lancastria, Cunard Line Troopship (1940) (Alk123A)
Excellent model of Cunard's famous Lancastria that retained her red funnel when grey camouflage paint was applied as her troop ship duties commenced at the beginning of WW2. This is the version that we have here. The funnel did receive a thin coat of grey immediately before she was sunk off St Nazaire! She had already assisted in the evacuation of British troops from Norway.
The RMS Lancastria was a British Cunard liner sunk on 17 June 1940 during World War II with the loss of an estimated 4,000 plus lives. It is the worst single loss of life in British maritime history and the bloodiest single engagement for UK forces (in terms of lives lost) in the whole conflict, claiming more lives than the combined losses on Titanic and Lusitania. | |
