leyreynolds Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 I'm looking for drawings, photo's or sketches of this river gunboat. Any help will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francis Macnaughton Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Have you got hold of a copy of "Nile River Gunboats 1882-1918" by Angus Konstam and issued by Osprey? It is available as a pdf format e book from the Osprey website.. This has several artist's impression type drawings of Safia but no plans or photos. The best bet for any plans might be any archive which might still exist from the builders Samuda Brothers Shipyard, Poplar, London - perhaps at the Local Government Authority History section. Oherwise possibly the Royal Museums Group ship plans section but they have been unable to do much for a while thanks to Covid lockdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickF Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Can't help with Safia, but do have some builder's drawings for the earlier Tamai class. Was buildinng a 1:32 model of El Teb, but for various reasons - mostly due to a computer attack by the "Ransom" virus - most of my jpg files were destroyed.
