On a trip to the UK, Cmdr Bob Mumery (OAM RAN Retd), a committee member of the HMAS Perth (I) Memorial Foundation, came across a partially completed model of HMS Amphion. This ship was renamed Perth and commissioned into the Royal Australian Navy in time for the Second World War. The Lions clubs of WA took on the task of shipping the model to Western Australia to be completed and eventually presented to the Memorial Foundation. Lions member and model builder Alan Hawkins has taken on the job of restoring the model.
