HMS ROSS (J45) Hunt Class Minesweeper

Hi there:

I am researching "HMS Ross" (1919-1947) as she appeared during WW2 for a model to be presented to a soldier who was rescued by her at Dunkirk.

I have John Lambert's Hunt class plans of "HMS Saltash" and an undated photo postcard of "HMS Ross". She differs somewhat in her GA to the Lambert plans and a number of photos I have of other Hunt Class Minesweepers in 1942.

I believe these ships were all refitted at the beginning of WW2 and therefore my picture of "HMS Ross" might be prior to the refit and explain the differences.

I would greatly appreciate any images of HMS Ross shown after 1939 so I can render this model as accurately as possible.

Thank you for any help.
