Hi there,

I'm looking to build HMS Fleetwood as she was in 1943 using the Finewaterline kit. I need help with the layout of the 20mm guns & their splinter shields especially in front of the bridge, can anyone help with a plan view?

Also the midships 20mms, were they in square guntubs, or 3 sided sheilds or one large rectangular enclosure?

Finally, were the wooden decks painted in that era & if so what colour?

thanks

Gordon

Hi Gordon

If you PM me with your e-mail address, I can send you scans of the pictures I have of Fleetwood which may help you to decide how things were arranged.

Regards

Don

Sorry, I thought I was logged in when posting the previous message, but obviously was not. So I will repeat the offer to send scans of what I have on Fleetwood now you have the identity of the person to PM ! It's me Finnfan.

Cheers
Don

Hi, I am the Education Development Officer on board HMS (HQS) Wellington. We are trying to find out exactly which engines and boilers this class of ship would have had on board. I am fairly sue it would have been an Admiralty 3 drum boiler and a Parsons turbine but we don't know exactly how many stages were within the turbine and we don't have a definite answer for both. We have all the plans for Wellington but strangely it is not written on the plans, just place holder drawing.

If you know any definitive answers to my questions or think you can point me in the right direction to find out I'd be enormously grateful.

The answer should be in the design paperwork which should be in the Ship's Cover which should be at the Brass Foundry annex, National Maritime Museum, Greenwich. If you pm me I can give you a direct e-mail contact there.
