Scale: 1:96. A fine builder’s model that retains its original display case, information plaques and turned support pillars. It was owned by the Dartford and Greenhithe (Cambria) Sea Scout Group for many years. It is a very good example of its genre, depicted with the starboard companion way rigged.

The ‘Lavington Court’ was a shelter deck, cruiser stern, motor cargo vessel, built by Harland and Wolff Ltd, Glasgow, for the Court Line. She had a short career. Just two years after her launch, on 19 July 1942, she was torpedoed by a submarine, and foundered on 1 August. She had been in a convoy en route from Leith and Oban, to Capetown and the Middle East, when she was sighted by ‘U-564’ about 200 miles north of the Azores. 'Lavington Court' was carrying 6000 tons of government stores, and two naval launches, as deck cargo. The U-boat fired four torpedoes, and thought that it had struck four different targets, but only the ‘Empire Hawksbill’ and 'Lavington Court' were hit. The latter was taken in tow by two tugs, but sank before she could reach port. Six of her crew of forty-five, and one passenger, were killed. Her Master, John William Sutherland, and the remainder of the ship’s complement, were picked up by the sloop HMS ‘Wellington’ and landed at Londonderry.
