I had the honour of carrying out part of the weapon tuning at Cammel Laird shipyard. It was a real experience, especially during the strikes! A great ship

Ex Cov’s & 3Q Mess where are you? Come on guys; let’s get back together for a re-union. I am sure there are plenty out there willing to make the effort – time is moving on and life is too short. Let’s get together this year for a few beers and a few ‘black cats – When I was on the Coventry’. Made it to the Cenotaph last November with the South Atlantic Medal Association. Simon Rouse and Boris of 3Q fame were there! We had a good day, remembered lost shipmates, swung the lamp and talked ‘Jack’, took the piss out the Paras (a great bunch of guys who had me in stitches with there old stories) and drank loads of beer. May be 2003 will be the year?

This web site was forwarded to me and I am so glad that I visited. Always remember the 25th May and remember 'Old Ships' and 'Older Shipmates'. Will be in UK sometime in 2003 and would like to catch up with some old oppo's.

I was an AB(R)down south and a proud member of not only the Coventry but the Tadjerhawk Squadron as well! A Top site which I will visit frequently and if any old shipmates remember me (Higgy) drop me an e-mail. Regards.

Does anyone know the whereabouts of AB(R) Ross 'Spider' Webb who came from Hove near Brighton? He served on Cov from late '81 til 1982?

Firstly, congratulations to Damien for a fantastic site.Well done. Its good to see so many familiar names of friends and colleagues who i had the pleasure of serving with.(79-82) I was only told of the site by a friend who came across it by accident, could it be promoted more? Navy News, local papers etc. I could not make this years reunion in Chatham, was there another reunion as well back in June at Sultan?

Does anyone know the whereabouts of Eddie Cambell? He was on the Cov with me prior to the Falklands but he stayed on there and went down South. He was an A/B (M). Remember the Casual Onlookers!!!

A great site At last a site dedicated to the ship i served on as a stoker. Keep it going Les

Tim Sparling wrote on August 9, 2002 at 12:16

First may i say what a fitting site this is. Secondly does anyone know the wherabouts of Giani Codognotto (probably the wrong spelling!) He left the mob around 1990'ish and went to OZZ. He left as an LRO(T)but was probably only an RO when on the Cov during the war. If anyone remembers him or knows of his whereabouts this would be great. Many thanks in advance.

god bless all of the sailors of the royal navy and let this serve as a reminder that our true friends are the white english speaking people of the world with some exceptions of course.
