	HMS 'Aurora' at Heligoland, 9th May 1864
		Aurora, commanded by Captain Sir Leopold McClintock, was despatched to Heligoland on receipt of news that an Austrian squadron was on its way to the North Sea.
		In the meantime, Aurora was ordered to Heligoland to mount guard over the territory acquired from Denmark in 1814, whilst Admiral Dacres' Channel Fleet was tasked with shadowing the main Austrian fleet when it entered the Downs.
		As it was, by her presence, Aurora ensured that no diplomatic complications ensued, with the result that when news of the Danish victory was announced in the House of Commons that same day it met with a degree of acclamation which would not have shamed a British naval triumph.

		Joined H.M.S. Penelope in Portsmouth and after a week or so steaming off Portland and where, incidentally was issued with cold weather clothing, so we had a fair idea that we would be going somewhere warm and we were right, we were soon to be back in Gibraltar and operating in the Med.
		Aurora from Malta and Dido from Alexandria were to rendezvous and proceed together with destroyers on the first patrol, but not only did they rendezvous, they collided and as Dido bounced off she left half her anchor embedded in Aurora's bow.

		In 1952 one of HMS's partners, Raymond Haines, solicited Abe Shikes, president of Aurora Plastics Corp., convincing him of the huge potential market for plastic model kits, which was expanding greatly at that time.
		Thus, an almost two decade long relationship was born in which HMS provided Aurora with prototypes for virtually all of their models, as well as slot car bodies.
		These pictures are extremely important as they were used (along with measurements) by the artists, engineers, precision machinists, and sculptors at HMS to produce renderings, blueprints, schematics, and finally, the master pattern.

	ModelWarships review
		Previously I had scratchbuilt her sister, HMS Penelope, in 1:144 scale.
		The four ships of this class (Arethusa and Galatea being the other two) were built as cheap cruisers in the mid- to late-1930s, with six six-inch guns and eight four inch guns.
		This was an important class of warship; indeed, Aurora and Penelope wreaked havoc in the Mediterranean as Force K. The main failings are the lack of detail on vertical surfaces but the number of parts can help with the more complicated assemblies.
