More crytic glues!
I mentioned bridge faces earlier and you went cold.
I repeat the inside forward edge of the bridge correspounds with a JKN and NOT a Hunt.
The bridge face also does not go sharply downward as Hunts do as their bridges are very blocky.
The only thing which does not sit with me looking at plans and photos of JKN's is that signal lamp in the background.
It should NOT be visible from this perspective and should be below the wall of the bridge.
It is visible on a Hunt however from this position.
I've gone through nearly 300 photos I have of Hunt's in my database.
I have good shots inside Avon Vale's bridge in 1941 & Whaddon's bridge post-war being scrapped.
and no they don't match!
In summary I count around 3-4 sources which all tell me this ship should be
Kimberley.
Only this photo is providing a few visual clues it might be a Hunt.
Therefore the weight of evidence is in
Kimberley's favour.
Does anyone have Churchill's full wartime memoirs?
Someone please look up where he was puffing away on a cuban on August 15th 1944!
Lastly I still hold out it is
Kimberley, I think I've jumped through enough hoops for you.
It's up to YOU to prove ME wrong!
