HMS Appleton

Model of HMS Appleton

Having decided to make a model of HMS Appleton, a TON class mine sweeper, (the ship’s name is taken from villages with TON in their name) to display in the pub or Village Hall. I contacted The TON Class Association (TCA) and they very kindly sent me a set of working drawings to work from.

I in turn sent them photos of the items at The Plough Inn and the name plate in the Village Hall that the ship’s company presented in 1969.

The TON Class Association have kindly printed the following article in their association magazine. https://www.appleton-eaton-pc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/HMS-Appleton-article.pdf
