I am not the best person to ask regarding jigsaws, I will do them as and when I feel inclined and have the time. I don’t go out of my way to look for them.
If there is a question to be answered I will have a crack if I can - so keep them coming and I will do my best.
When I open one on my desk PC I am constrained by using a mouse, aggravating my RSI, so a touch screen is better. I will try a larger touch screen sometime and see how it goes.

#883 - HMS Collingwood 1882, would seem to be a reasonable candidate.

Malcolm G 7th October 2022 16:50

#894 - Sitmar's Fairstar perhaps.

Sparkie2182 7th October 2022 18:33
