slightly updated pictures, wrong helecopter deleted, open stern modified slightly to reveil the fact that you can see straight through when looking side on, and the tweeked badge by Kim replacing my awful waves,

my next project also undeway, badge coming along but might tweek the hand a bit more.

Looking good but you're right about the hand. The thumb is missing

I just found a picture you might find interesting.

As you can see the ports along the stern are in fact port holes and not drains. Judging by this rather large picture it's the same for the ones amidships.

I still have a fair bit of work to do on sir Lancelot I am trying to pin down exactly were the door in this photo is I have the same. Photo but every other picture I have shows the access steps stowed flat against the.side of the hull but I can't see the door way or the small platform to which the steps attach I have a number of things I need to work on and will upload the hopefully finished ship.soon, however work commitments mean I can't spend a lot of time on my project, but I will get them done.

Thanks, although your pic is of the opposite side I recon looking at the photo's I have the position is the same on the other side, I had the same close up picture as theil but. As you said the angle makes it hard to determine and the other pictures I had we're not of great quality.

I did see a similar picture on the net once of here when I was doing my "random" google search! and she is very similar on both side.

, does any body know if these ships were equipped with bow thrusters or not, I have a number of pictures of Sir Tristram on a floating dry dock and a picture of Sir Lancelot in her final hours being scrapped dragged up on a beach somewhere and there is no evidence of bow thrusters, yet Wikipedia states that when Sir Bedivere was rebuilt during her SLEP modification, her Bow Thrusters were upgraded......... if anyone can shed any light on this I would be greatfull.

WHile it wouldn't surprise me if they had bow thrusters (the contemporary Newport Class had them) the only reference I've been able to find of them is that one unsourced line on wikipedia.
I've written to one of the editors of the Historical RFA site, hopefully he knows.
