@@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.

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.

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.

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.
