Thanks both Chubb and Magicniner, I now have the crew. I got them from Deans Marine in the end, though HSL Mouldings do offer a wider range of crew. Thanks again

Hi Mick Most crew wore RAF Battle dress with woolen off-white sea socks, sea boots and submarine jerseys. It also know that crew wore "home comforts" items sent from home by loved ones.  Humbrol do a RAF Blue colour (96) if I remember! Hope this helps Try to get a copy of the video "For those in Peril" must vid for the Whaleback builder!!!!!! Chris ------------- Christopher |
