    What a great film. There’s a Royal Navy mine laying vessel that sank and is lying on its side opposite my house in Lochalsh. HMS Port Napier. Sank in 1940 and the villages had to be evacuated due to fear of it going up. Lots of divers come up to have a gander around it.

    HMS Vernon, now Gunwharf Quays. Surprised to see the now King Charles in some the classroom shots and stepping aboard the Ton-class HMS Bronington which he commanded (and which I think is still having efforts made to preserve her). Another brilliant vid.

      Yes indeed, in a few the classroom shots and then later aboard HMS Bronington which he would later command.

    And now talk is about doing away with the MW or Muppets as we knew them, Thankfully Vernon was my only Pompey draft as a Tas Ape. Great days though, Sad to see it go.

    Prince Charles, who is now King! I was on a 'Ton' class sweeper, HMS Belton.
