Well, sort of. Dave Gregson on the crest of a wave

An anonymous reporter may have clarified Dave’s last set of photos. At the club meeting last Monday it was suggested that Dave was actually building a ship.

The bearded Naval types are very possibly crew members of the (fictional) HMS Compass Rose. This was the Flower Class Corvette featured in Nicholas Monsarrat’s epic ‘The Cruel Sea’.

Some new photos illicitly changed hands, supporting this interpretation and giving scale to Dave Noah Gregson’s vision. After admiring Dave’s workshop, give some thought to making and applying those hull rivets!
