Hi Jeff, To add to what Alun described, I've messaged you an excerpt from an old copy of the Admiralty Manual of Seamanship. It includes a description of what would be typically fitted in the floats. No mention of bottles of rum, though. John

1/350 HMCS Regina (Halifax Class Frigate) 2021
JohnWS replied to JohnWS's topic in Work in Progress - Maritime
One final item to close out this build. I just received a new acrylic display case for Regina, as shown below; I found the supplier (Acrylicjob, located in North Hollywood, California) on eBay. The case comes disassembled - a wood base, 4 sides, & a top. Each acrylic piece is accurately cut to size with smooth edges, & with protective adhesive paper on both sides. Assembly is dry fit and does not require tools or adhesives. Good packaging prevented the possibility of damage during shipment . Stay safe! John -
Glad the repair is going well, Jeff. All the talk about fuel, engines, engineering, etc, reminded me of my father. He was an engine room artificer in the RCN during WWII. He had a few stories to tell about life below decks. Luckily, he cleaned up pretty good when he came out of the engine room ... & before he met my mother. John

HMS Mignonette K38 - Flower Class Corvette 1943 1/350

Another beauty, Rob. Great seascape, as well. John -
My condolences on the loss of your Dad beefy. John

Hi Jeff. Just to summarize, the blue ensign was flown at the jack staff on RCN ships from 1910 to 1965, when alongside, moored, or at anchor. Note the 3 different versions of the badge/shield located in the lower right quadrant of the flag, as shown below. I agree with you & Rob, that the blue ensign does look pretty nice. John
