More reading and it seems HMS Branham, a Hunt I class, and HMS Rye, a Bangor class minesweeper, were also involved in the tow.
I haven't found a Branham but could modify an IBG Hunt II close enough. I haven't found a Rye, a sweeper, or anything close yet ....
I got the IBG Hunt II today - fortunately I bought two so I have one for Ledbury and for Branham.
Now, if this GB gets scheduled, my build will be Ohio and I'll start the supporting cast early and separately ....
I've been looking for camo schemes - nothing found yet, probably be unexciting ....
Operation Pedestal, with Spitfires ...

It's my model and I'll do what I want with it.

Well, it isn't a Spit, Daz, but it's representative of a Pedestal machine.

And I now have the Skywaves Onslow which can be converted to a P-class for HMS Penn.
So, everyone present except a tug and I have a couple ocean-going I can use if needed. To make iggie happy I'll need to find a 1/700 Stuka I guess ....

If you can walk away from a landing, it's a good landing. If you use the airplane the next day, it's an outstanding landing

Re: Operation Pedestal, with Spitfires ...
So, is there still some interest in this one?
