I have a few Photos you can
put on the web page, it was along time ago and the mind might
not recall the exact dates but the Dry dock photo was of the
Rothesay in Gib After we hit a Sub called the Gur, she was
Turkish. the date I think was 1962 March, The Sub was also towed
into Gib, we were there for a few months, After that we went to
Londonderry and I believe the whole crew exchanged with the
Yarmouth and we then did Patrols North of Norway/ Sweden on
Submarine Patrol. I remember it was very cold and the lookouts
only did 20 mins about. The sea was freezing as it broke over
us. The other picture is of the young innocent TAS ratings in
Plymouth, not a smoker in sight. I am the 4th from the left as
you view.
I remember if you bought a 1/2 pint
you could then pay £1 & have the Name of your ship, rank,
date etc engraved on the glass. It then remained with me for
7 years a tot each day , + each Sunday a tot of Pussers
before dinner. is this a record for one glass ??
I still have my Tot Glass from Daltons Famous Bar
Londonderry May 1963 has anybody else got there tot glass?
