Captain's Table....been there, done that (many years ago) !!!!!

[@rhannay39]

10 quid an expensive run ashore. Those were the bloody days.

[@stevekiberd3474]

I use to get up early to do a paper round and always made sure i go to see her leave and come home. My Uncle was in the RM band based on her and i was so lucky he took me on a family day on board ship and went to sea, Best day on my life.

[@oogdiver]

Nine pints of scrumpy. Good effort Kelly!

[@fishernz]

Quiet run.

[@henryvagincourt]

Ashore with £10.00, back aboard with 5 pence, few days lost of pay for fighting with the French Navy, good memories happy times.

[@truckertom3323]

In 1976 i was 16, and earned £11.50 a week.

Thank you for uploading in much better quality

I saw some photo's of this magnificent ship being scrapped! Bloody sad. Wonderful ship and by the looks of it crew and captain.

[@GrahamWalters]

I wos onboard for that filming, the paint hid a lot of problems, some of the engineering spaces were comdemned, you had to phone through to your enine room before entering,andagain when you came out. If the Eagle hadn't of bent her prop shaft, Ark Royal would have been srapped years earlier, and no one would have made a fuss.

[@douglasphillips1646]

I remember being on fishery protection in 1958 chasing the Thor Icelandic.gunboat away from our trawlers

[@jamesnoonan7450]

Who was the master at arms he is simply brilliant. Firm but always fair treats every man like his son.

[@GrahamWalters]

Tom Wilkingson, he was liked by a few, hated by many, I promise you all that was for the camera's

[@jamesnoonan7450]

@GrahamWalters Why was he hated, if you don't mind me asking ? I'm assuming he is long dead now ?

[@GrahamWalters]

@@jamesnoonan7450 He was regualting (Royal Navy Police) branch, failed at the branch he joined up in, the sort of bloke who would buy a junior a drink then put him on a charge for underage drinking. I got the feeling he was ex Air Branch, because they could get away with blue murder, that L Airman Tinks was a perfect example, any other branch it would havve been loss of rate and probably a good conduct stripe too.

[@fezmancomments]

Checking my chart of Plymouth Sound, it appears that the Vanguard buoys are further to seaward than the NE Winter buoy, as are The Narrows.

[@StevenFisher-dy7hg]

U will never stop young men acting like that

[@TheJules2011]

Officer seems a fair Guy.

[@jhnstones]

They put the bastards on Frigates!

[@GrahamWalters]

A quick view of my mate at Commanders table, we went though training together, always in trouble for being drunk, in the end it took his life, he died in a fire at HMS Sultan. Paddy Mclaughin was in my mess, 5Wz0, very quiet lad, but easily led, the story he told about a girlffiriend wasn't quite true.

[@paulmcquillan8308]

What happened to the beginning of the episode ie Diamond Lil's and coming down the gangway drunk as lords hitting their heads on the ship, days I remember well, best days ever

[@tiadaid]

This was uploaded back when KZbin limits the length of uploaded videos to 15 mins or less. The uploader did upload the first part, which you can search from the OP's KZbin page.

[@1669Python]

The Navy I remember.

[@Ron-u1z]

Yes me too. Was on board intrepid 86/88. Not like todays, cuddly, woke, strike racist crap.

[@kevinduffy80]

@@1669Python know what you mean. Was on board Invincible 82 to 84. How things have changed.!!!

[@davidlawton7845]

Get the MEO to get it sorted!

[@jeremyholt4740]

Those 20 year olds will be in their 70s now. I wonder what they think of the state of the current Royal Navy

[@Stanleytone-04]

Unrecognisable 😕

[@kevinduffy80]

It brings tears to your eyes 😢😢😢

[@clives344]

Watching this didn’t noticed how long ago this was filmed until they mentioned 1976 was in Malta 🇲🇹 then. Was in the Navy cadets then.

[@stephenroots4327]

No Pilot?

[@mikmac220]

What's happened to the end credits and rod's song!

[@Lurkin_Not_Workin]

Copyright strike for the music I'm guessing

[@stephenroots4327]

Should have kept her!

[@patricktyler84]

What year was this???

[@neilportch1286]

1976/77 if I recall correctly.

[@mikeldannatt1062]

Nine pints of scrumpy and still walking???

[@truckertom3323]

Yes, but just think of the pain! your brain banging around inside your skull, and your gut tied in notts, scared to let one rip incase you shit yourself, and a mother of all hang overs......

[@henryvagincourt]

Mikel Dannatt + Scrumpy is made in Navy country, I started drinking it at 17 when I joined, makes a man of you, Devonshire Scrumpy.

[@andrewcarroll2162]

I could only manage 3 pints and I was passed as a fast.

[@andrewcarroll2162]

Pissed
