I reckon the drawing's in the John Lambert system somewhere, since Shapeways sell one. https://www.shapeways.com/product/MCWWJSGCX/1-350-royal-navy-mkiv-pom-pom-directors-x4

Tony on the website he does refer to lambert plans for the source.
I have the 3 books of lambert drawings, the problem is they are laid out in
Categories so the pompom drawing is with the destroyers as they were fitted with pom-poms
But the directors were only fitted to capital ships and there is no lambert book for capital ship
Weapons… yet.
So I need to try and see if someone without knowing has a director drawing

Have you tried RMG plans? They've loads of stuff which isn't listed yet. Certainly worth asking the question. Also, if it's for Glory then you'd need to tell them whether the directors had the 242? radar upgrade. I've started looking through the photos etc. in the Admiralty Collection at Imp War Museum and I've had a look in the Caird Library for any maintenance leaflets but no go there.
I find these quests enjoyable because you never know quite what you end up with for the next project!

Thanks Tony,
I didn’t think about the RMG.
Glory did have the radar upgrade it was a 282 radar I believe

Hi John,
Is it possible to somehow get a copy from you of these drawings?
