    Norm,
    Two possible sources. British Cruisers, Two World Wars and After, by Norman Friedman
    British Cruisers of World War Two, Alan Raven and john Roberts.
    The first has a profile plan circa 1942 immediately prior to her loss and a photo, same time period, again a profile.
    The second has a three photos of her in different time frames, including an aerial circa 1941.
    If can can not access these, I can try to scan them and send them to you.

    I am building a 1/16" to the inch scale waterline model of HMS Dorsetshire and am having problems with info abaft the third funnel to X turret. There were several ships in the same class but very different in major detail. I have been tempted to complete her as a generic heavy cruiser but would not be happy with result. I need good clear airial images taken from the quarter. Anyone any ideas? I have scoured the internet. RN Portsmouth museum has nothing, War Museum same
