Title: type 81 Ships boat davit
Post by: Ted_H on July 03, 2012, 10:15:20 pm

I'm trying to find an image of the boat davits as used on a type 81 Tribal they may hve chnged during their lifetime so I'd be interested for the period prior to them leaving service.
I do have some general drawing but they are of poor quality.
I'm looking to scratch build rather than buy a fitting

Im sure the same davits were fitted to lots of other ships of the same era. apart from the Leanders!


Thanks guys  :police:

Thanks for that pic jim , the davits are a little unclear for what I need but the photo does hold lots of other detail information which is a great bonus.
