Back home now after a great reunion and a great service of remembrance. Thank you very much to Chris and the Commitee. They will never be forgotten. I have just had a quick look at the web site and see that someone has placed some great pictures of the commisioning. As i was there as a Sea Cadet I had a quick look. To my amazement i found a picture of myself. Those who know me and want a laugh i'm the drummer in the foreground!

I remember you also, George Mew. You were a diver in the Persian Gulf for a while and came onboard Gloucester when we were out there for Desert Storm

Nice to see, they are possibly going to make a film of the fighting 88,If the director reads this please don't, cast Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise as me,I'd like someone better looking.

also cannot attend this years reunion, building industry is still a bit shaky, though the ex-army lads and myself will be raising a glass or two to those who are still on patrol.

Paul Inman wrote on May 16, 2011 at 09:55

Gentleman I am unable to make it this year due to work. I will be flying down to Pompey on Sunday morning (Buster & Ginge I’ll see you in Old Portsmouth). As always you and the ship are always in my thoughts. Have a good one wherever you are. Paul

Shipmates Final dit before reunion - promise. Just to ask/remind those attending next weekend in Coventry. If anyone is happy/able to donate a raffle prize for the Sat night raffle draw it would be very much appreciated. For those of you not able to attend in Coventry, especially those still meeting in Pompey, have a good weekend and thanks to those wreath laying in Pompey on the Sunday morning, your shipmates in Coventry will also raise a glass or two and hold our service of remembrance. Safe journeys one and all Yrs Aye Chris Howe - Chairman

Thanks for the good wishes Mick. I am going to Wembley. Despite the money difference I am still nervous. I hope the reunion goes well for all attending. I will be raising a glass in Pompey with Buster. My lad deploys on the 25th on a 42 down south(eerie). All my best to all ex Covs.
