That was yesterday, 24th. Today is the 70th anniversary of the beginnings of Dunkirk...

...imagine, all those little boats, torps would have to run at 0.5m!

:ahoy:

Upon reading this thread I went into a cupboard in the house to look at a framed print I haven't had up for approximately 25 year, then looked up the artist, title etc.

What a shock I got when I googled the details in :o

I know I have the HMS Belfast print plus one or two others I never had framed, in a tube container up in the loft.

Aft decking on the Hood was still wood, the Bismark fired AP plunging shells and a change in course resulted in her destruction. Makes you wonder what could have happen if the Hood was fully upgraded. :hmmm:

Hood isnt in the stock verstion, is it? For i would like to find her before the Bismark sinks her.

Wrong place at the wrong moment. If Admiral Holland had turned a minute sooner or a minute later history might have been different.

I have a feeling there was no " or a minute later" option available to the good Admiral.
