Very rudimentary ship data, but notable in that there are no ship photos, only hand drawings (mostly excellent sketches done by Fred Jane himself). The drawings lend a unique charm I think, although the side/top view plans we expect in later Jane's are lacking.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Steve C.Corporal_Trimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00376387688651637091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-56523981014412878912011-10-12T05:38:54.047+01:002011-10-12T05:38:54.047+01:00Hi Steve,

I would like to get another couple of reprints of Janes just to fill a couple of gaps - mainly because I really enjoy some of the comments and the aerial drawings are helpful.<br /><br />The Man Cave is the fulfillment of a long time dream and the funny thing is that it has given rise to some curiously ideas....;-)<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />DCDavid Crookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02497436789811496047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472889370304077924.post-75550126220556087022011-10-11T23:50:50.517+01:002011-10-11T23:50:50.517+01:00Congratulations on your most excellent man cave, D...Congratulations on your most excellent man cave, David !
