True matey. They're not far off but far enough I fear. Were it not for the fact I was a Radio Operator in the RN and these things figured heavily in my day to day job.. I'd probably not have noticed but there you go. I suppose it doesn't help that on the last four ships I served on, I was I/C Aerials too
Should Rick ever get around to finishing Glamorgan.. here's how the wire aerial arrangement should be. I found this piece of well worn paper among a pile of stuff shoved in a plastic bag a few months ago while looking for something else. They're my working notes off Norfolk!!
OT: reminds me of the time the Yeoman was bored and decided to test the range of a 42 set with an 8ft whip (a voice backpack type, normal range of a few miles) He had us string copper wire across the whole of Montgomery square in Aldershot, effectively turning it into a huge ground plane..with the set in the middle with a transformer and genny attached we fired it up....and got a faint response from the infantry barracks at Dover castle :o

The shots are about 2 years old as I never got round (for various reasons) to publish it with who I was with at the time. Rest assured any suggestions to improve the models will be taken on board :roll: (sorry) but with FSX it allows me to add far much more to a single BGL and a whole lot more detail. As stated all 3 profiles of her career have been modelled.
Yeah sorry about the plane but it enabled me to take screen shots from the drink
There is also the Kiev class built just to give it something to launch against
) this week, with the comment 'will finish soon'!
