Type 42 hand rails

(1/2) > >>

David gray:
Dose anyone know if the sloping hand rail above the anchor on the front of the superstructure,  is actually a hand rail or is it some sort of conduit or just
Decoration , I have looked at many photos but can't find any close enough or clear enough  to tell

TailUK:
Looks a bit too far up to be a handrail, I presume you're talking about the tubes that angle downwards from the centreline of the ship from just below the bridge windows?   
Could it be part of the ship's "pre-wetting" system?  That's the spray system that's used to wash the ship down in the event of fall out contamination.

David gray:
Yes it makes sense what you say  I agree
      Thanks David

Hi David


Try these for help, I took the pictures when I served on board HMS Edinburgh for 8 hours.
Look for reply #283 on this link:

  Thankyou
