Hello from Warrington

[Airborne01]

It was 67 for me. School friend was on Dundas when it was Portland Training Squadron in the early 70's.
The Aussie carrier must have been HMAS Melbourne. She had a habit of hitting ships or ships hitting them. She also hit a soviet vessel but it was the rooskies fault as it cut under the Melbournes bows!!!! (Opened a can of worms for the Soviets. We discovered she had dummy weapon systems, When one splintered!!!

Melbourne it was mate! Great recall!

Welcome Chris, they've started haven't they, the rabble bunch. :smiling6: I do boats too, the tiny flatbottom ones...I like flatbottom girls.
Look forward to seeing the Illustrious built.

Cheers,
Richard aka Wabble

Disgraceful! What's wrong with 'ladies' of more curvaceous builds - 'Lusty' is brilliant!

You lot are everywhere. At Prestwick one of my pals was a Chief Radar Tech, Paul. He worked on Western Radar.! (The radar that covers West Jockland anyway!!) He ended up at Weston Super Mare, forgot the name of the place now. Still do the Xmas card thing!!! Don't know what my next door neighbour was, scared to ask in case he says Reg't!!! :smiling5: :rolling:

"L Tech AR" was a trade all of it's own,could be seconded to RAF Reg, but only if you were REALLY unlucky ( ) .... and,if that was the case,you still would NEVER affiliate yourself to said Rock Apes.
