I am currently building the WW2 flower class corvette HMS Picotee K63 and so far have only been able to find one photograph of her;

picotee 2.jpg

There is another photograph I found, in a nicely presented memorial to Picotee. 'Poem for Picotee' that shows a corvette. It seems to have been taken from another framed behind glass photograph (you can just see a reflection), there is no caption but K63 is clearly shown, but to my eye the photo just does not look right, the ship is out of the water enough to show her bilge keel yet she still looks upright. there are other anomalies such as the rear superstructure looks slightly smaller than it should and if you look at the sea behind her it does not look rough as in the foreground. Maybe its just my old eyes, but what do you think? Could it be a composite ?
