Hi, Allan, I am looking at the drawings of the Euryalus, and I was wondering if there were any gratings in the lower and upper decks, I only see them shown in the forecastle deck, it's correct? tanks 🙂

Hi
Yes, the hatches would have had gratings on them on the upper and lower decks. The attached drawing by Wayne Kempson has the lower deck showing the hatches. These would definitely have had gratings. Same would apply to the upper deck. I left off the gratings on the ladder way hatches when I built my model of her. Wayne followed conventional drawing techniques of the time in that the gratings were not shown on the original drawings. If you look at the attached original drawing of the FC and QD, you will see that the gratings are not shown. Please email me directly at allanyed6469@gmail.com as I check it far more often than MSW, or call me anytime on Skype to chat. My Skype address is allan.yedlinsky Ciao
