My Ship will also be there for the weekend, HMS Westminster which should also have a Merlin embarked.
I believe the ship is open to visitors so anyone wanting a tour give me a shout and i'll show you round.

Would love to look round, would kids be welcome?

Depends on their age, i think the limit is normally about 8 just because there's loads of ladders and trip hazards etc. I'm not 100% on the plan as i'm off atm but i'll post up the details here when i'm know.
Please keep us posted. 
Cheers
