Lovely looking proper ship. I don't think she was there very long?

Here is an interesting link I found on the Windsor Castle. I am sure many may have read it but may be of interest to all especially seeing as there are a few ex UCL lads here.

Re: Margarita l
Brings back some wonderful memories.
Many crew names there I knew well ad 'Chuckles' Charnley finally made commadore of the fleet.
Odd man at times but fair, great ship, pity she ended up like that.
There were plans at on time to save her as a museum, but to no avail.
Happy daze John in Oz.
Life is too short to blend in.
