Hi Tom, Are you going to come to the 3rd Meet Up 15th November at the Liverpool (Mona) if Jack and I cant find a good alternative. Regards Steve and Sue R770014 South Derbyshire
i was on the generton in 53.argentine and back.the mate had the cheek to ask me back if i promised to behave myself.he would have had problems complying with the suggestions i made as to where he should park his ship. the chief engineer asked me to do another trip and go ashore with him as a body guard as every port he got so drunk he got rolled, arrested,or beaten up.I also declined his offer. john sutton
hi john, I hear you missed me... I was watching a programme last night about the HMS Hood that was torpedo in may 1941. They managed to find it but to this day there is only one living surviver, they showed how it broke in two places and the time it took for it to sink which was minutes. I just could not get over how quickly all of those sailors lost their lives. It brings home what you guys do or have done in your lives, i think you all deserve medals.
