HMS Keppel appears on p24 of Alan Raven's Volume 4 Royal Navy WW2 camouflage with two different camouflage schemes.
I seem to have located a portside photo of this ship and the camouflage scheme appears different to either artwork on page 24.
The scheme appears composed of three colours and I would describe it as an Intermediate Disruptive type.
The photograph is unfortunately undated but is labelled Keppel.
Taking a closer look at Keppel in the photograph she appears to have radar and HF/DF on a pole mast aft in place; her aft funnel appears cut down; 20-mm are present on the bridge wings; and there is a Hedgehog in place of 'A' mounting.
Could this photograph show a camouflage scheme that was present on her in 1942?
One in which was between the two camouflage schemes depicted on p24?
Does anyone have any thoughts on this please?
