A big BZ to Tim and all concerned setting up this site, looking forward to using it and making a contribution.

Well glad to back on board again .

Will now have to get back in the swim of things and sort an AVATAR out once Jim tells me how [ again]

Hello Ivor and a warm welcome and I hope you and the tug is still afloat and you are now wealthy from all of the salvage work on the lake .

Hello Jim, pleased you made it here and if you know anyone else from the old gang and can contact them, you are welcome to send them an invite.

Hi All,
I'm back too. Thankyou for setting this site up and thankyou for inviting me. You may remember me as "Bee" (aka sometimes as Lady Bee in the Wardroom.) My late father, Douglas Barrow, served on Little Ships, (as a Wireless Operator) in the Aegean in WW2. I had a thread for his memories (mostly of his time aboard ML 357) and for his fellow shipmates who served in that theatre of war and on those types of vessels MGBs MLs and MTBs etc on the old WNSF site. It was great to have somewhere for people to find information about these small ships as previously I had found very little. I owe a great deal to WNSF and the wonderful moderators and contributors there, for helping with these connections and found a great naval family as well. Now that WNSF is no more?? hopefully most of you, who are able, will be transitioning here and the journey will continue.
Regards,
Bee

Hello Bee and welcome aboard. The demise of WNSF was quite unexpected and caught a few of us off guard. We hope to emulate the site and make this one a good source of information, so feel free to post any information about your father here.
