I’ve found some excellent warship art prints on eBay, and have taken the opportunity to pick up three quite splendid pictures; two of HMS Warspite – one depicting the ship in heavy seas, about to attempt the ramming of a U-Boat whilst on its way home for repairs after the Battle of Jutland, the other in Narvik Fjord, 1940 bombarding fleeing German ships and one of an anti aircraft destroyer, HMS Egret on arctic convoy duty.

It turns out that the chap selling the prints is also the artist and he emailed me to tell me that his printer had broken down and that the second two of the prints would be delayed until next week. He offered to refund my money if I couldn’t wait, or as a gesture of goodwill, a couple of A4 size prints for free from his catalogue ( www.warshipart.com ). So that’s what I have gone for.
As it happens, I was in the shower when the first print arrived this morning, so I couldn’t take delivery. I shall have to collect it tomorrow morning. I need some frames now, I guess.
