THE BUILDER'S MODEL FOR THE TWIN-SCREW MOTOR YACHT AND 'LITTLE SHIP' WILNA R.T.Y.C., LATTERLY H.M.S. AISHA, BUILT BY COCHRANE & SONS LTD, SELBY, 1934, modelled by C. Crawford & Sons, Sunderland with laminated wooden hull, lacquered lined decks, gilt fittings, painted superstructure, and details including carved lifeboats in davits, gratings, deck lights, awning stanchions, raked buff funnel, searchlights, life buoy etc., mounted on four gilt pedestals on display base with ivorine plate and light oak glazed case. Overall measurements - 16 x 32 x 10«in. (40.5 x 81.5 x 26.5cm.); together with a copy of her construction contract; a set of builder~s plans of her general arrangement; a period photograph and some correspondence with Cochrane~s from 1992 (4), Designed by Norman Hart and built of steel, the 100ft long Wilna registered just over 117 tons and cost her owner, one Mr. W.H. Collins, œ14, 400. By 1939 Mr Collins had ordered a larger eponymous replacement from Camper Nicholson and the first Wilna represented by this model was sold to the Royal Navy in February 1940. Renamed H.M.S. Aisha she was deployed on harbour patrol, but was ideally placed when the Admiralty transmitted its requisition to owners of private craft to surrender (and if possible man) them in the frantic efforts to evacuate the British Expeditionary Force from the Dunkirk beaches 26th May - 4th June 1940. Shattered and demoralized, the British were trounced by the German ~Blitzkrieg~ as it ripped through France in the late Spring of 1940 and found itself surrounded and under air attack. With the Royal Navy suffering heavy losses from its precious reserves, larger ships presented an easy target for the Luftwaffe and were sunk at the pier heads blocking other vessels from loading troops. The answer was to use smaller craft capable of reaching the beach to ferry the army to the larger ships waiting in deeper water, or to simply ferry as many men back to Britain as best as possible. Over seven hundred private craft measuring between 30 and 100 feet in length responded - known to eternity as the Dunkirk ~Little Ships~ -- and saved over 338, 000 men in what instantly became known as the ~Miracle of Dunkirk~. With the professional army saved from destruction, it was now possible for Churchill and his War Cabinet to regroup and prepare for the defence of the United Kingdom. Sadly Aisha~s war was a short one as she was sunk by a mine in the Thames estuary in October 1940 where her perfectly-preserved wreck was discovered in 2008; The second Wilna registering 460 tons built by Camper & Nicholson was delivered to Mr Turner in early 1939 and hired that August as an anti-submarine yacht. She was sunk off Portsmouth by aircraft on 24th March 1941., This model will be available for viewing at Imperial Road
