Below are a collection of  pictures of Wizard, dating back to the 1940's. Some of the pictures are copies and the quality isn't very good but I think they all capture the essence of Wizard and it's crews. Please feel free to correct any errors or have a picture you would like to include, please e-mail  the webmaster.

Grateful thanks to those who have contributed pictures.

 

Below is HMS Wizardtaken in 1965.  At the time the ship was in the Darmouth Training Squadron.
