Hi Earl,

I went on the UK portion of AOL International like you suggested, but I didn't find any PT sites I haven't seen or browsed before just by using Google...

Can you recommend any specific sites you found there with photos we haven't seen before?

Thanks,

-- Drew

The photos that are of lessor quality appear to be still shots from a newsreel or movie. I've taken some stills from PT Boat films and they look similar. I wonder what film or reel they came from?
