Fantatsic footage.

I just hope that someday, all these wonderful old videos can be transfered into colour.

I'm guessing the battleship was HMS Resolution?

Wikipedia says she supported the Narvik campaign in May 1940.

The footage of her 15 inchers in action is fantastic.

Many thanks

Amazing. Anyone moans about Polish workers in the UK I will post them this video. Could be HMS Warspite in the video, I believe she was involved at Narvik, the navy boys sailed her up the fjord!

[ToonandBBfan]

Warspite was involved at Narvik as you say but the battleship in this video is definitely not a Queen Elizabeth class.

Its an old "Revenge" class and I believe that HMS Resolution was involved in the Norway campaign at some point.

Cheers

yes, does look like an old R class battleship - I stand corrected! Can never make my mind up if it was pure bravery or insanity to sail the Warspite up those fjords though.

[ToonandBBfan]

I think it was a bit of both mate - LOL

Mind you, I bet the Germans must have shit themselves when they heard the blast of her 15 inch guns echoing up the fjord!!!!!!!!!!

This footage is unbelievable ! Those seems to be the real last shots when we can see ORP Grom in her last moments ... is there any chance for better quality/resolution ?
