Nice cards.
I particularly like the pic of Royal Sovereign as it is a good close-up which is quite rare with RN battleships..

I like postcards, they are time capsules....to hunt and find more, go to worldnavalship forums and navigate through there, there are some really nice vintage cards and in large files. When you copy yours, please put a glass plate down overtop to flatten them down, or a flatbed scanner to flatten them down...curled up pictures dont work to well......

I've found them on e-bay as well - that got a bit expensive after awhile. You should see the one's that got away!

I posted some here.

You'll also find some posted in specific CASF threads, such as the Invincible/Inflexible class and Repulse/Renown class threads.

I also moved this thread to the "Picture Post" forum.
