I was a RAF Enginer Officer and served in the Falklands Islands with the Chinook Detachment at Kellys Garden from April to August 1983. During my time I was part of a party that found and recovered Seadart Missile JZ391. The remains of the missile were collected by HMS Birmingham in July 1983 and I have a letter from Cdr Gale, Captain HMS Birmingham, thanking me for giving them the missile and an indication that the missile may have been fired by HMS Cardiff in May 1982. I have a photo of the missile taken at Kellys Garden and the original letter from Cdr Gale. I understand that the remains of the missile may be in a Navy Museum in Portsmouth? The 25th Anniversary of FI Conflict and a recent sorting of my photos has prompted this inquiry. I would be happy to part with the original letter and photo of the missile if anyone is interested?

I have much enjoyed reading your pages, and do have close relatives who are members of your Association. But I couldn't find anywhere an email contact address which I could use so am doing it here. I am hoping to find anyone who served with Robert Philip Thomas,X119606 Petty Office C/M, who served on HMS Phoebe in WWII. Robert (Bob) was my uncle, and my father's eldest brother. Very many thanks. |

Any info about the departure from Dover and the arrival in Hook of Holland of HMS Wild Swan, on 10th of May 1940, departure of the Loodsboot 19 (pilotship) to Rotterdam to collect some of the Dutch gold, and on the 11th of May the destroying of Loodsboot 19 by a mine, which o.a. killed three Royal Navy men. Also the departure of HMS Wild Swan from Hook of Holland.
Contact with sailers onboard HMS Wild Swan during above mentioned days is welcomed.

My father served on the HMS Arrow and was on her when they went to the aid of a stricken merchant ship that exploded. Dad survived to live out his life, many did not. Dad, died on the 31st May aged 90 years. He will be much missed by myself and especially by my sister Eileen who feels a deep internal loss. Bernard Holdroyd was a great father to us both. A hard working man all his life and was still doing and teaching ballroom dancing until aged 86. He is to be buried at Nabwood Cemetery Saltair near Shipley West Yorkshire at 1100 Thursday 7th. May he rest in peace for all those years he gave us at the risk of his own life. |

Hi, My late father Micheal Smith (Jock)to most who knew him. Sailed on HMS Duke Of York. In world war 11, he was a gunner and sailed on the ship for several years until the end of the war. He came from Edinburgh, and spoke about the men on board with great effection. I have very few photos of him and some one reading this will remember him and some pictures of my dad especially those taken in middle east.

I've only just read Vice-Admiral McAnally's essay on the Shatt al Arab affair. He's missing the point as to what is bothering us ex-matelots. Is the RN recruiting the right people? Young mothers with children at home worrying about birthday parties dont seem coxswain material or do boys wearing ipods being boarding party members. I back up my question about the right stuff by reminding him that we heard recently that a drink sodden barbeque was held on board one of H.M's ships in the Med. Yes a warship ! Where an apparently inebriated junior rating put themselves sexually in harm's way. |

Can anyone help me
I\'m researching family history and found out that my grandfather was in active service in the Navy in WW2. His name was Arthur John Horne, and he served aboard HMS Rodney and HMS Berwick, in which order i don\'t know, but I was told that he was invalided out after his ship was torpedoed. I was told that he was a gunner and that he also achieved the rank of CPO. He lived in Exeter, Devon and passed away in 1976 before I started any interest in the family, missing out on the chance to ask him many questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated. |

I am looking for my mums father that she never met. His name is probably J. Andrews and he was petty officer of the Royal Navy during WW2. He was stationed in \"Estetal\"-barracks in Buxtehude, Germany 1945-1946. The only information I have is that he was born on 11 February 1918 and that he left to Portsmouth, England on 18 March 1946. Does anyone know him or someone who is related to him? Thank you very much for any answer. Regards, charly

I am trying to contact anyone who went to the "Homes for Little Boys" in Hextable, Swanley, Kent. This was a Naval Orphanage between 1883 and the 1950s. Many boys came from Portsmouth/Southampton; at 14 many returned to associated schools there as well as Greenwich, Holbrook, Deal etc. Many served in the wars.
The present School is called "Furness" in Hextable. Memoirs are being gathered from former members and a reunion is planned for 2007. Please contact me if you have any information. |
