* Logic:
Mayfly, ex-V26 Lady Day (1926) became V18 Mayfly in 1927 (re-named V18 Fancy in 1933)
Bryony was re-numbered from V22 to V14 in 1927
Mystery was re-numbered from V24 to V16 in 1927
But...Harmony was re-named from V11 Whiskey to V11 Harmony in 1928
Thus, the above photograph seems to have been taken between 1928 and 1932

1927: Solent Sunbeams from V15 and up were re-numbered with the first eight, V14 - V21 of the Falmouth class.
Thus, V8 = Clary (1924); V14 = Bryony (re-numbered in 1927,ex V22 Bryony); V24 = Fay (1927); V3 = Mary (1923)
Note: Judy lost "1938" (above); "1939" (below)
