Hello everyone, Latest iteration of the document is at https://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Wp_Commons_SHIP_12pp_September_UK.pdf
I still need to add in the location URL on the back page and give the document a final proofread. Other than those two things I'm pretty happy. I've updated the freedom of panorama information (although please note the size limitations on that page). If there are no further (important) changes then I plan to get a version over to the printer next week.
