But we genuinely didn't have a flight as the hanger was filled by a portakabin housing the geeks listening to the towed array. we were super silent so spent our time listening to others. The flights on my many other ships have always been great (well okay) -and served some useful purposes e.g. getting the mail; but the old 'one flight only' (normally to culdrose) was always guaranteed to cause much merriment-last on , first off (apart from the stewards) and not much in between- jealous, you bet!

Oh go on then...while we're at it!! :lol:

Ganges
Mercury

Was supposed to have been drafted to Victorious but while we were on the Pussers Bus taking us from Mercury to Pompey Dockyard, a lot of fire engines passed us...Victorious was on fire!! So we were drafted to Fearless but...Fearless got diverted to Aden and Pusser didn't want baby sailors running around all over the place.

So I ended up with...

Wasperton (Lochinvar)
RNSS North Queensferry
RAF Pitrevie Castle (down "the pit" in the Commcen)
Hermes (with a loan to HMS Diana)
Scylla (Captain D1FE at the time) (with a spell at Sembawang Commcen and Kranji)
Hermes (with a spell as a Radio Operator with 42 Cdo RM)
Flag Officer Plymouth (Commcen)
FOF2 (Flag Officer 2nd Flotilla)
Norfolk
Commcen Whitehall (Down the pit!!)
Pension time!!

:D

For a whole week I haven't read this thread because I thought it said 'Any Argyle fans abroad', oops.

My brother was on HMS Lancaster for a little while, and has some very interesting stories from his travel. Including one which, well, involves the crew and a man who had been lost at sea for about four months. It's not pleasant.
