Thanks. The base is 21″ x 11″ overall, 20″ x 10″ inside the frame. It’s a stock art frame for doing some sort of photo layering effect so deeper than usual. Fit the bill perfectly – and it was on sale to boot! 🙂

Yes the resin will have to go on very thin to prevent pooling – may use a cheapo synthetic brush to ‘paint’ it on. We’ll see if one coat will give a convincing enough water effect.

Dio nearly done (at last!). Just the clear resin to apply, then final assembly and detailing time.

I might have starred in a documentary about the unit, but I became unphotographic with Impetigo!

That’s a shame Tim. Was the documentary produced anyway?

I’ve seen that one, but well worth another look. 😎 I’d like to know what program that came from and see it in better resolution.

Makes you wonder how much other footage is out there…

Great photos.

Are the dates significant? The notorious Arctic convoy PQ17 of July 1942 had at least one CAM ship in its number and I think there was a CAM ship in the previous PQ16.

Right, PQ17 (with one CAM ship – Empire Tide) sailed from Iceland for Russia June/July ’42 and PQ16 (Empire Lawrence) the same route one month previous.
My photo’s above were both taken in Halifax. The later photo might be Empire Flame.

These 2 are via the website RV7’s pic is from. The photo’s aren’t cataloged in a way that the search engine will find them so it’s down to browsing through a lot of thumbnails. Others I’ve bought in JPEG form from the IWM or scanned from books.

Fuel? And they could still get airborne??

Very good question. An extra rocket perhaps?? :confused:

Anti-blast paint – is that the rough looking port-holed area of the bridge directly behind the catapult, Tim?

Regarding additional fuel, I’ve read that later in the Hurricat’s career some were fitted with under-wing tanks but once again – haven’t seen any photo evidence.
