HI. Traevera25. If you bring up http://www.navyphotos.co.uk - www.navyphotos.co.uk you should find a pic of 523 but I feel that she is one of the many boats that did nit suvive the war. Pay attention to the bridge details such as they are they are somewhat similar to the Gay class Regards Ted Drum1. ------------- E.S.Childs |

Ted I have tried to make your link work but 'Explorer' will not allow (thread too long?) 'trevera' needs to enter the site (via your shortened 'link') and navigate to the MTB section. Rgds ------------- Pioneer - Forum Moderator |

Hello Ted Your link above does not work either - I would suggest to 'travera' that he enters the site via your earlier shortened 'link' and go through the simple process of 'entering' the site proper - then following the simple instructions to MTB 523 Rgds ------------- Pioneer - Forum Moderator |
