For Angela,
Just went to the start of this thread. Maybe its too late but I have a couple of photos of HMAS ANZAC taken in the early 60's. The gun director at the rear of the bridge had been removed and the B turret converted to a classroom but there is lots of nice upper deck detail. One shot was obviously taken from a helicopter hovering about 200 yards off the starboard bow. The amount of wake suggests it was doing around 30 knots. I suspect it was the "official" photo of the day.
If you are interested I could post it or send you a copy.
