Another coincidence. I was on the Scylla from 1973 to 1975. Best ship I ever served on.

Joined it as a POMEA and left as a CPOMEA-great ship, lots of laughs -best of all no flight so the flight deck was for sport or bronzying- still serving now (just). Seem to remember that tiny little was XO for most/some of that time but could well be wrong.

Ganges
Mercury
Was supposed to have been drafted to Victorious but while we were on the Pussers Bus taking us from Mercury to Pompey Dockyard, a lot of fire engines passed us...Victorious was on fire!! So we were drafted to Fearless but...Fearless got diverted to Aden and Pusser didn't want baby sailors running around all over the place.
So I ended up with...
Wasperton (Lochinvar)
RNSS North Queensferry
RAF Pitrevie Castle (down "the pit" in the Commcen)
Hermes (with a loan to HMS Diana)
Scylla (Captain D1FE at the time) (with a spell at Sembawang Commcen and Kranji)
Hermes (with a spell as a Radio Operator with 42 Cdo RM)
Flag Officer Plymouth (Commcen)
FOF2 (Flag Officer 2nd Flotilla)
Norfolk
Commcen Whitehall (Down the pit!!)
Pension time!!
