My father Desmond Doyle was aboard for the last North Atlantic convoy of the WWII and on her independent return to the UK. |
| 10/08/2009 - 23:20 | John G. Macleod |
Was R.O. on her last voyage. Signed on in March `58 in Newcastle and signed off in Singapore after running up from Indonesia, where we had a narrow escape from a bombing raid by the rebels. She fractured her prop shaft getting out of there and was subsequently towed to HK for scrapping. A British Tanker ( a couple of cables length away) was sunk in the same raid. |
