    Jeff 'Bones' Reilly, I always remember the "Swan" being referred to as "The Fluffy Duck", from memory a name it earned by the behaviour of some of its Sailors in the Showers :-D

    "Thanks  J.D.", bought the 3 Cymbals mentioned above for the total princely sum of 15 bucks :-D

    "Thanks the anonymous pick", Cymbolism was the first name I came with, but!!, it didn't sound corny enough :-[]

    "Thanks Bones", the concept was not my idea, but was based on another build I found on CBN, I thought you'd like the backdrop, it was recently given to me by an ex Vietnam RAF Vet friend, who "lowered" it from one of our Ships back in the day, ;-)

    Also have another 2 White Ensigns, 1 smaller and 1 larger.
