@egg, great minds (re davit) and I like the helmet!

I’ve just been reading a fascinating book which I picked up in a local bookshop about the ‘Town class light cruiser’ HMS Birmingham. Not my usual reading matter, the book is basically the history and builders plans (general arrangement drawings) for the whole ship. Some of the original drawings were over 12 ft (3.65 m) long.
