Time to leave the goldfish bowl and get into the big world outside those dockyard gates. Married with a wonderful 3yr old daughter and enjoying life in the Lake District as an AFO (Authorised Firearms officer) with the Police. Yes this poacher has turned gamekeeper. Just thought I'd try and find a few old shipmates to chew the fat and talk about those really good old days whns flats were polished by hand during the night and the deckheads buckled under the weight of all those stowed crates

 I joined the navy in 1972 with derrick and after a number of years i lost touch with him. he was my best mate so what a surprise it was to first receive a salute and then following an email a telephone call. we can now arrange to see each other and our families after all these years. i thought that he had left the country. our first posting after passing out of training was the first royal navy display team. i then joined the achilles and after a couple of years derrick joined the boat, our draft together finishe dafter the achilles went into dry dock after a collision with a oil tanker (sister ship of the torrie canyan, 5th biggest at the time) back in 1976. this happenned in the english channel en route to hamburg.
i am now working in harrogate and derrick is with his family in the nottingham area.
thanks again for your web site in allowing me to get back in touch with my mate. Paul Walker
