Ice Show Prop! HMS Hampshire - a photo on Flickriver

Ice Show Prop! HMS Hampshire

An interesting item from the programme of Robinson Crusoe on Ice which was staged at Wembley Empire Pool over the Christmas period 1971-1972. I remember going to see the show and the ship was a truly remarkable piece of theatrical showmanship. Not my photo, of course, but will appeal no doubt to anyone with an interest in the Royal Navy.

There were five HMS Hampshire's. The fourth was an armoured cruiser completed in 1905 and sunk on 5th June 1916 while carrying Lord Kitchener on a diplomatic mission to Russia.

The last HMS Hampshire was a County class built in 1963 and scrapped in 1979, All eight of the class had very short careers with the Royal Navy, all being disposed of between 1979 and during the 1980's. Four of the class were sold to Chile, were modernised and remained in service for around a further twenty years. One, HMS Kent lingered on at Partsmouth as a training ship until 1998.
