Hi Terry

Every one them in post #23 is different in some way. With what I have read on the Corvette the "Fennel" looks to be just about original.

With the ones alongside the only thing that seems constant is the Main Roof Aerial and the Bellini Tossi. Pity the guy who took that photo couldn't have been a touch further forard, he would have given us a cracking shot of the Radar mount.

These photos bear out the fact that every few ships that were launched in the class were altered to suit the swiftly advancing strides in Detection, Attack and Defence. But again from what I have read it was a rare breed of matelot that sailed on them.

Harry..........got it now.............the "Gizmo"............has to be a "bracket retaining water tank housed"...........park it on top of gun director then you don't have to rotate it by hand, just turn the director!

However, I suppose the differences in Post 23 is that it depended upon what Mk. of the beast was fitted. Bog Standard Basic...or Mk.1A, or Mk.2, or.....or.....or.....

Reading the book that this fellow has, it seems that the Bathurst class was built in various ship yards around Australia and had extensive refits during its short life in service.

All kinds of Sackville pics at my site...They call it the "Lantern" and it housed the 271 hand cranked radar. They were installed on a wide variety of warships, from the old 4 Stackers to Escort Carriers...

Best to all from Halifax!

Race horses gallop to the finish shown in this racing painting by Mark Churms.

The Finish by Mark Churms.
Half Price! - £20.00 		Kentucky - born Steve Cauthen was just 12 years old when his father Tex finally agreed to help the single-minded young man realise a burning ambition to become a jockey provided he didnt let success make him big-headed. No parental proviso was ever more faithfully fulfilled. In the year of his seventeenth birthday the kid rode 487 winners of 6 million dollars, including the U.S. Triple Crown on Affirmed. He went on to captivate British hearts two years later. By 1984 he was champion. But better was to come. No wonder the fairytale ingredients of 1985 have fired the imagination and talent of Peter Deighan to such compelling effect.

Half Price! - £750.00 		On the afternoon of 5th September 1940, Spitfires of 41 Sqn intercepted a large formation of Heinkel 111 bombers and their escorts over the Thames estuary, en route for London. Flying N3162 as Red 2, Flight Lieutenant Eric Lock attacked the bombers head on as they began to turn north. In a fraught combat, Lock was to destroy two He.111s and a Bf.109 on that single mission, setting him on course to become the highest scoring ace in the RAF during the Battle of Britain with sixteen confirmed victories and one shared. His final total at the end of the war was twenty six kills confirmed and eight probables.

The three crew of the Blenheim were all missing in action - P/O Cyril Ray Worboys, Sgt Gerald Patterson Gainsford and Sgt Kenneth Cooper.
