    thanks doug,
    those are great photo's, they really show the hard life she had, she certainly merited her second names!

    Nice one Neil,
    Welcome aboard👍
    Attached pics taken in Malta show her battle damage from bomb splinters plugged with chunks of wood. Earned her the second nickname of HMS Porcupine!😮
    Cheers, Doug 😎

    That's nice, 'Penelope', light cruiser 'Arethusa' class . Lots of action on the Norwegian convoys and then Mediterranean. She was holed so many time that she was nicknamed HMS Pepperpot!
    Lovely model nevertheless.
