You wouldn't possibly have it in higher resolution? |

Neat pic, thanks Phil. At risk of sounding a bet wet, I reckon British Naval deisgn of this era produced some of the best looking & best proportioned designs of any nation. KGVs, Town class cruisers, Battle class destroyers & similar, lovely looking vessels all. That pic of the KGV is as good as I've seen though for capturing its "best" side.

I`ve tried to enlarge the pic ,but without success,sorry.This was taken in Nova Scotia,I think she must have on a"work-up" cruise,and she must have been though some rough weather,as the orginal Dazzle pattern camo is showing though ,on the hull.,thats what I call weathering!
sorry again ,Phil This post has been edited by Phil Reeder: Mar 10 2010, 10:45 AM |

"...Is this a colourised print.."
No, it`s the real McCoy,it was among a large collection of wartime colour photos recently discovered in a Canadian museum.I`ve posted a couple of others of a Canadian Corvette and Frigate on BM. cheers Phil |
