"The Day They Hit Sheffield..."

Steve Wilson
Great build Ricardo...
What is the significance of the two redlines the broad arched one with 225 and the thinner one from the destroyer???
Sorry but I'm a car man😄!!!

Thanks for the comments Steve. And thanks for the questions ... There is no problem... I do appreciate the interest 🙂 From what I could find, Sheffield, on the day he was hit by an Argentine Exocet missile, was navigate the SW direction (and so I put the course of 225). This thick line tries to represent a small part of a compass. The thinnest line tries to recreate the trajectory and where the missile struck Sheffield. 🙂
Once again, thank you Steve 🙂
