"Westmoreland passing one of the “rusty eight” capital ships laying in the Medway near to Sheerness Dockyard during the Medway 1927–38 races. I believe that the grey funnel ship is HMS Repulse."
Daphne Berry: "I've had it confirmed that is is Renown, not Repulse by 'the Gallopers' fb group... they are upset about the rust comment... its true that she looks very smart."
HMS Pelican 1938 - 1958 GGCV L86 U86 F86 What I Have I Hold ~ A wonderful bird is the Pelican its beak can hold more than its belly can.

Here is a closeup of the UD proto mounting on REPULSE. Unlike the production units this mount carried two 4" instead of 4.5"........ ;) I rebuilt my model of REPULSE with this mount on her! DFO
