H.M.S. 33

M29 class monitor, with HMS Q.E. and HMS Prince of Wales
Just thought I would put these few snaps, off my pants phone, out there for the floaty crew.
Hope a cheery distraction for a moment...

You can actually get a 1/250 Model of M33!

OK, it's a paper model, but there are some stunning models that can be made from this material! - and the low price is worth having a look!

Nice shots. I might be very old fashioned, but I find the Monitor much more interesting to look at compared to the other two…..
