Portsmouth Bill - No problem. :)
Indeed, they had Flowers, and not only them. In the late-1940s and early 1950s generalissimo Trujillo managed to get quite an impressive fleet from WW2 surplus - 1 "F" class destroyer, 1 "H" class destroyer, 2 River/Asheville class frigates (1 Canadian, 1 US), 2 Tacoma PFs, 5 Flowers, 3 PC-461 class chasers, 3 ex-USCG cutters, 1 LSM, 3 LCTs, 3 LCIs and lots of other, smaller stuff. But the great days of that fleet were gone by the mid-1960s.

I use the SC radar from this sheet if it helps - I couldn't remember where this was located in the forum otherwise I'd link it:

Thanks Rowdy. Looking at the sheet it does look like the XAR is closest; so I'll investigate further :)

I'm enjoying to look at this thread. Very informative and - most important - very well drawn vessels :!: :D

Thank again you gentlemen :) next up is the Tacoma class, with the Thai version in more modern guise. There are also the Canadian WWII (unless Novice claims this?) and probably another RN version of a diferent appearance. I know one of you is doing a Portugese, and Alvama is doing a Dutch one. I might even do the Dominican navy 'presidential yacht'. I also have a very good photo of the French variant, diferent again.
