Those photos and others taken in Russia and when sinking also show detail differences to tone/layout/shape of camouflage panels compared to what is drawn on p26 of WP2. Hi Richard, I confess I haven't studied it too much but the sinking photos portray some rather beat-up paint work but still I wasn't sure I was seeing the same thing as WP2 p26 as you say. You may have inspired me to look more closely...

Now just find the layout of the camouflage fields .... Many thanks!

If I recall correctly, Alan Raven's "Warship Perspectives, Camouflage Vol. 2: Royal Navy 1942" (I think that's the volume) has a line drawing of Edinburgh in her final camouflage. If I recall correctly, Alan Raven's [url=https://www.amazon.com/Warship-Perspectives-Camouflage-Vol-Royal/dp/B0006S4HE6/ref=pd_sim_14_1/131-3547596-3432164?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B0006S4HE6&pd_rd_r=fd1cda82-83b0-11e9-b428-7d17b7108ea6&pd_rd_w=Pw8O7&pd_rd_wg=PHIS7&pf_rd_p=90485860-83e9-4fd9-b838-b28a9b7fda30&pf_rd_r=VWST6Z14VF2R7VNP33QW&psc=1&refRID=VWST6Z14VF2R7VNP33QW]"[b][u]Warship Perspectives, Camouflage Vol. 2: Royal Navy 1942[/u][/b]"[/url] (I think that's the volume) has a line drawing of [i]Edinburgh[/i] in her final camouflage.

Hello, friends, I'd like to ask if somebody of you knows anything about camo scheme and colors of HMS Edinburgh on her last action in April - May 1942? I've been searching a long time, but I've found nothing. Thank you in advance!
