Items of Interest to all Sections of the Branch
HISTORY OF HMS MERCURY
"Thanks Ken Sutton
For anyone interested I have just posted up a video titled The History of HMS Mercury. This video was found in a box of exhibits in the museum. Sadly the tape was slightly "chewed up" but I think the whole video is there. The picture quality isn't great but it does bring back some fond memories."

I would imagine a few of our old skills still remain Harry . It sure would have been nice to have today's "comforts" around in our day but , heyho , time marches on and you cannot stop progress .
Having watched the QE and DUNCAN documentaries I am impressed with the standards today even if I still think some of them need tweeking a tad.
