A couple of days ago on this blog there was a post about HMS Rhyl. To my delight, this brought a response from Mervyn Weaver of Worcestershire who is pictured above with a large piece of the ship. Merv says that it’s a generator engine which was fitted to the bow of HMS Rhyl to provide emergency electricity supply if the usual system failed to operate. The generator is in working order and goes on display at vintage shows. What a great picture – thanks, Merv!
