A book has recently been privately published on the above subject.
Someone is sending me the details. When I receive same and after I have obtained a copy for myself, I will give out the information.
, unless of course somebody already knows about this.

Is this the Privately printed M.J. Dyer one I'm aware of but cannot locate?

If it's still to be printed this explains a lot! :big_grin:

This was his L & M Class one done in the 1990s I have.

O & P Class Destroyers

Post by Tim Stoneman »

Dyer's work on O & P Class Destroyers was published several years ago (early 1990s if not before), and is similar in style and appearance to the L & M one Laurence pictured. There was a copy in the library at the Royal Naval Staff College in Greenwich before the College closed.

Are you aware of anywhere else Tim which may have a copy?

I've found it hard in the past to loacte these unpublished items with no ISBN.

I hope when I spend more time at Naval Historical it might show up there.

If it was a Greenwich RN college one wonders if a copy is in the NMM library?

Dyer's Work

I would guess that the RN Staff College copy went to the library of the UK Joint Services Command and Staff College at Shrivenham.

Ok I'll keep a look out at Naval Historical, and keep asking around.

Believe or not I picked up the L & M class one in the Victory gift shop back in the 1990s and more than one person told me about the O/P class one.

I believe Mr M J Dyer to be someone who is either in the MoD of has done this work for them, I can find no more trace about him as an author.

Ok,

On another note, would you say this is an original cipher message?
Looks like one to me, some of these are in the documents I've already been looking at:-
