Maggie my OH was on Eagle, do you know if your dad was on Eagle when she went for refit/recommission in Plymouth. To my memory about 1964. Oh was on there then, one of his jobs was to fix things on the highest aerial (the big drum shaped one) above the ship. He is terrified of heights. I went to the recommissioning service. |

OH's father was a CPO in the Navy during WW2 ............ he wouldn't leave that position either, he loved being able to tell off the officers for their mistreatment of their binoculars :-) |

PH -Proud of his corpulence. When he died, he was (allegedly) the 'heaviest man in Hampshire', and they had to knock out his bedroom window, lower him down, and trundle him (in his coffin) to the church on a 'duck' - I think that's logs :-S |

I find it strange that I knew this lovely lady. I do remember wondering how she made ends meet when she was younger,. |
