This is a clearer scan of the original photo in my collection. George very kindly posted the scan from the photo in Gunline from my article written to see if anyone knew of the ship. SLAVA was a popular name for Russian ships. I thought it might be a captured job hence the wjite ensigns. The curiousity is the RFA title as opposed to MFA. However they were confusing times and on that front in particular. It would be interesting to see if there was a picture or drawing available of the suggested ship MFA SLAV.
Thanks for the interest.
