That would be great if you could thanks, I've managed to find quite a few pictures online but there are plenty of gaps in the time line so more would be greatly appreciated.

I've got a few pictures of HMAS Encounter, and the two Pelorus class ships from wikipedia, HMAS Sydney (I) but does anyone have anything else a little more detailed? *looking at mike for his usual supply of brilliance*
British Cruisers of the Victorian Era - Norman Friedman Seaforth Publishing 2012 and
British Cruisers Two World Wars and After - Norman Friedman Seaforth Publishing
The books have lots of lovely pictures, the Australian ones are mainly from the A C Green Collection at the State Library of Victoria. (All available online) The really nice things are the Plan and Profile line drawings by A D Baker III and Paul Webb of a number of cruisers. These include PIONEER, ENCOUNTER and a number of the Royal Navy's colonial cruisers based in Australia. I can't lay my hands on my copy at the moment but IIRC the second book has a Chatham Class, ADELAIDE, various Counties and the modified Leanders.
I have the first one, but, to my recollection there are no side elevations of the desired cruisers. However, since I have it with me at work today, if I get a request for which ships I should scan, I can do it later this evening and send them thru email.

I think the ships Rowdy's after is Australia (II), Canberra (I) (Both Kent SubClass) and Shropshire (London subclass). I'm after the Encunter (Challenger Class), Pioneer/Psyhce (Pelorus Class) and maybe any Chatham stuff would be appreciated
Ok, since I don't have my WWII cruiser book available, I'll look for that latter ones!

Ok, I think I got the scans you need. One problem though: they are large PDF:s converted to .png:s.

Pelorus/Pioneer-class:
