Ater showing off your work it was ponted out to me that untill 1968 when RNZN changed to thier national ensign they like the RAN flew the the White Ensign down aft.

Graham

Thanks Graham, I'll change that when I begin work on her again. But strewth I'm glad I wasn't there when you showed it to someone else, especially a Kiwi who might know her well. I've done my best with the source material, but as you'll know there isn't a lot around, and no decent drawing. Still, I'm very fond of this one, and I like the 'cut of her jib'

With Kim's great badge, here is (with a couple of minor changes) what I hope is the final version:

That's certainly nice! Well done! May I take her as base for my PNS Babur drawing?

If Iv'e ever seen a badge match a ship so well it's that one.1st class Novice, Bill and Kim.One very minor nitpick.There is both port and starboard nav lights shown.

Always liked the Didos, a very excellent job!

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

BTW Bill shouldn't it say HMNZS Royalist in the title? You have written HMZS Royalist

Kim, there is a small unfilled part on the right side of the Fleur-de-lis symbol. Otherwise, a magnificent work.

Thanks all for the corrections; Kim has updated his COA, and I'll rectify all the others asap
