Here is an interesting article published in the 'War Illustrated' 13 June 1941. As it happened almost. I've had the magazines bound as they are now quite fragile, being printed on the equivalent of newspaper. Sorry about the blurred edges I apologise for the picture size, hopefully its readable. I've looked at this article many times over the years, but since beginning building the Bismarck, I pulled the volume out and scanned through it again. I'd be very interested in any comments of the Bismarck photo Baz

That is NOT the Bismarck, that is a photo of a 'Hipper' class heavy cruiser, same as Prinz Eugen.
Profile is so similar to Bismarck that misidentification is very easy.
Probably deliberate designing.

The paper was very interesting Baz. I never realized that the captain of HMS Rodney was Dalrymple Hamilton.He retired as admiral Sir F Dalrymple Hamilton. Lived not very far from me up a very long drive. One day the Royal Yacht came into harbour with the Queen on board. They called on him and had a meal up at the big house. I was at the big house at the time and ended up being patted on the head by the Queen.
