discussion Hello from Warrington

[Guest]

Welcome Chris, and do not worry about decorum or manners, they went out the window a long time ago. Good to see you have been cured of the 'knocky ball with stick' illness and can now concentrate on the real stuff 'plasticusbuildusuppus'. Not a shipbuilder myself but I think we all drop in to take a look now and again to see what you are all up to. Questions - not a problem just ask away and you will get ten answers back and all will be helpfull. Had to bring some new parts and a donkey engine down to Athens once, started drinking on Friday night and sobered up by the following Tuesday, and the McDonalds did not know what hit them....

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!

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:

.... He won't. .....
"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.
