Model of the Ship
Large and very impressive model of
the ship made in Vietnam. Many OCs have bought one and been very
pleased with it. They also sell glass display cases. There are a few
inconsistancies in the model e.g. the gun ports are just open holes and
some of the blocks are not to scale but this remains a magnificent
model. http://www.woodenmodelboat.com/model/woodpro/all/hms_conway.htm

This is supposedly a photo of the ship at Rock Ferry in the 1940s.
Trouble is she left Rock Ferry in 1941 and by 1939 her white lines had
beeen painted out .The figurehead was masted in 1938 so the image is
38-39

Video - Seasoned Sailors (Set 4 No.2)
A video in the Seasoned
Sailors series features Old Conway R. W. (Bob) Timbrell (1935-1937).
He left Vancouver in 1935 to find his way
in the naval world and first went to the training ship HMS Conway
in the Mersey. The video has brief background shots of Conway.
During WW II he was given command of a
hired yacht (Llanthonthy) and sent to the beaches of Dunkirk to rescue
allied troops. He became the first Canadian naval officer to be decorated
in WW II and was awarded the DSC "for good services in the withdrawal
of Allied Armies from the beaches of Dunkirk". He gives a gripping
account of his three trips to the evacuation beaches. The Dunkirk
film coverage is impressive.

Timbrell CMM DSc MID CD RCN (Retired)". Set 4 No.2. Video running
time 52 minutes.
