With the VBCW rumours that the "Bristol Fleet" is even now setting sail, intent on raiding along the coast of Wales, it would be remiss to exclude the Senior Service from the "cigarette card" treatment. Thankfully, blogger "Hatchfive" has already done all the work, in a series of five (very colourful) posts:
Life in the Royal Navy, Part One
Life in the Royal Navy, Part Two
Life in the Royal Navy, Part Three
Life in the Royal Navy, Part Four
Life in the Royal Navy, Part Five
All of these cards provide an insight into the Royal Navy in the 1930s, plus lots of useful modelling information for those adding "sailors" to their VBCW Platoons (hello, Giles), or intent on building a VBCW Fleet. On that note, in Bristol, the question on everyone's lips is whether HMS Woolworth, HMS Argos, or that new BUF Escort Carrier, the Joseph P. Kennedy, will ever make it home....
