New Paper Craft: Large Automated Navigational Buoy (LANBY) Free Papercraft Download

This papercraft is a Large Automated Navigational Buoy (LANBY), which was introduced around Great Britain and Ireland in the early 1970"s, the papercraft is created by PaperShipWright, and the scale is in 1:250.

They were seen as a cheaper way of providing a beacon at sites traditionally occupied by moored lightships. LANBY’s were fully automatic, powered by triple-redundant diesel generators and capable of running on station without attention for months. The bouy was about 14m/40′ across and carried its light about 14m/40" above sea level.

In operation, LANBY’s were not particularly successful but filled a useful gap between the need to phase out lightships and the introduction of reliable solar-powered bouys. The last LANBY (on the Coldling station off Wicklow, Ireland) was withdrawn and scrapped in 2010. ~ via Papershipwright
