Tony,

You may want to have a look at these sites,

http://www.wartimememories.co.uk/ships/penelope.html

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/mike.bee/penelope_association.htm

In 1943 the ships crew had a book printed entitled "Our Penelope"  which had some black and white photographs of the ship and crew members. This book can still be found on some internet sites.

I seem to remember seeing on The Antiques Road Show some Naval Officer showing some "Penelope" items which had been donated to the Royal Navy from the Thunderbirds program in honour of either this ship or her replacement ???
