As well as looking for parts to complete the cockpit, I am looking for history, photos and other details. Contact with pilots would be nice. Not sure if she was ever flown by HRH.
She started as a HAS3 and served on various Type 42s such as Edinburgh, York, Southampton, Liverpool. She had the Gulf Mod Secure upgrade. Would be really interested if she had any action in Armilla Patrol etc.
Any knowledge that would help appreciated. I have spent hours on Google and have some basic info, photos
Cheers
Tony

Yes, and I’ll just upload everything else for free for the hell of it too. Can never get enough positive publicity and good vibes, eh…
Know that feeling.
I guess that, over the years, my idea about what ‘gist’ meant has slipped. Just looked it up and the meaning I was implying – a hint, a taste – were not listed. That was what I intended to convey – not the full, unexpurgated version and I completely apologise.
Although if you could upload everything…;o)

In which case maybe some kind person would give you the gist of what is there. After all, think of the positive publicity and good vibes, eh Mr Howard…;o)

Cheers all. Thanx aeronut, I knew your vast library would come good. I like to buy books, but with several projects I have to prioritise what my limited resources go on! Looks a great book Lee. Excellent research
