6:45Now Playing"This Englishman's home isn't so much his castle, as his dry dock."
Luke Casey meets model-maker extraordinaire Bill Wilkinson in his one bedroom flat in Leyland, which he shares with his wonderful replicas of famous boats. A large steam paddle boat takes pride of place in his bedroom, while his bathroom and living room are home to his latest creation - a 25-foot scale model of the luxury steam yacht, J.P. Morgan Corsair.
Originally broadcast 1 August, 1983.
