HMS PANTHER
I
am desperately trying to find a picture of HMS Panther a 'P' Class
destroyer fro a friend 'old' man who is seriously ill. The family are
wanting to give the old man a last chance to see his old ship. I know that
it was sunk in Oct, 1943 but hope someone somewhere has a picture prior to
the sinking. Even if it's not of the Panther - at least one of the 'P'
class destroyers would suffice. Can anyone help me please? contact Grace

SUPPLIED TO HER FRIEND, IN TIME JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE HE DIED. SHE WISHES
TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR THEIR HELP. WE WOULD ASK IF ANYBODY
WOULD Email US COPIES OF THE PHOTOS TO SHOW THE SHIP AND CREW.
