Scapa Flow BW

Couple of things got me thinking tonight. My interest in WW2 came from my grandfather. Dave Screen. He was based at Scapa as the whole fleet was during these times and though his ship escaped the carnage here he was later torpedoed on HMS Liverpool.

 

I wont go into the details incase relatives of that day see this, needless to say though it was a harrowing experience.

 

I loved looking at his photo albums as I grew up and every morning id have him tell me a war story :)

 

I was looking at these shots and felt they were worthless, but now ive decided to try and make this one like one of Pops that I saw in his albums.

 

So here Dave, this is for you. Youll be pleased to know I can take the bookie regular, I drink like you (though I hate rum) I smoke like a chimney and im always getting in shit for something. :)

 

We will meet again, but not yet mate...not yet.

 

:)
