Wow! Had this on cassette (taped off the radio !) and would listen as a kid. Always remember the “and that’s why we called it the Murmansk run!!’ Good times - thanks!

at least HMS Varsity got to go to the scrap yard under her own steam rather gone there under tow. many old steam ships didn't go out with all their pride

I guess steam tug boats was still coal fired back then
