Place your curser over the image - right click - select e-mail (to yourself)
you may need to run it through a Photoshop or like package.

	Will take a look over the weekend - sure I kept a print out of the model somewhere. Best wishes. David.

	Thank you for the reply, shame really that she was scrapped. Was hoping she might still be somewhere in existence. I will notify my Grandfather about this, yes that would be great if you could find those images. Thank you for your help

	As far as I know, "Grey Fox" was scrapped late 1945-1946, only "Grey Goose" being retained by the Admiralty for further experimental work in minesweeping measures - the latter now a houseboat on the Medway. Sometime last year, I came across a model of "Grey Fox" after googling her name - will see if I can find a reference for you since the detail was excellent. Good luck with your research. David - son of John E-H, "Grey Fox's" Jimmy the One from her launch and latterly her C.O.

	Hi, My Grandfather Wilfred Taylor served on HMS Grey Fox in 1942 and was part of the Coastal Forces during WW2. I am currently writing up his notes well from what he can remember during his time in the Coastal Forces serving on HMS Grey Fox. He is pictured in the photo of the crew, we also have a copy of the photo and it is on display in the Imperial War Museum in Manchester. I have other photos of Grey Fox which I sent for from the Imperial War Museum London, numbering 12. I am also currently in the process of building an exact scale model replica of HMS Grey Fox for my Grandfather as my Father was in the process but passed away in July 2007. If anyone wishes to share information on HMS Grey Fox, I would gladly do so. I am also wondering what happened to HMS Grey Fox after the war, there is no record or at least i can't find any record of what happened to her?

	Have been away for a week or two - and what a picture to come back to! Really does show the extent of the damage - so many thanks Richard. Much appreciated. David.
