The carrier is HMS Hibernia. The first lot of pix are being posted as I
type. I also found several pix for submariners, some old naval planes and
other odds and ends.

I realise Hib was a battleship, but it's much more fun to wind people up
about aircraft carriers at the moment :) I saw your pics. I've only done
the 1st volume of a 2 volume encyclopedia, there will be more to come, but
not right away.

I realise the files are large (BMP), but I'd already had some requests to
send BMPs for better resolution so people could save them and scale them to
their own liking. Sorry to inconvenience those who'd prefer smaller JPGs,
but the loss of resolution would have disappointed others. It's a no-win
situation. It's a pain for me as well - this connection is pay as you go
and BMPs cost me more to upload (and I didn't fancy emailing BMPs out on an
individual basis)

Surely what they need is posting to a web server.

Any chance of these going into web-space somewhere, Sarah? I'm too fond of
life to start asking our admins for binary groups..
