WDS 1/1250 WDS 31 MV Norland Ferry 1981 Waterline Model
Norland modelled here has the livery that she was wearing shortly before she was requesitioned for the Falklands war in 1982. This 1/1250 scale, metal model has been made by WDS (WDS 31) who bought Sextant who had made a model of Norland in her 1970s livery.
North Sea Ferries, an Anglo-British company, owned Norland and Norstar, identical sisters and used them on the Hull to Hook of Holland route. Norland was registered in Hull and had a largely British crew and Norstar was registered in Holland. Only the British registered ship was requesitioned for Falklands duty and the crew volunteered to work the ship for the duration. WDS have chosen to model theship in different liveries to Sextant, see also WDS K 21 & WDS K 21a.
