Sean,
I have been reading these for a while and I must say, I really like them. You must have a nice collecction of Great White Fleet items to be able to provide pictures like you are. Thank you for your tie and hard work.

Gday Jim

I am really glad you are enjoying the instalments as you can see I have put 166 instalments together thus far and number 167 goes up today.

You are so right I have gathered a vast amount of resources and information on this topic plus a little knowledge along the way.

Its a true personal pleasure to share this stuff with everyone and to contribute to a dynamic modelling website like modelshipwrights.

Cheers


Sean
