AM,
we did not, as you say, often work with the RN at least not until Op Corporate.My log book tells me that In September 1973 we dropped some supplies to HMS Kent and I can still recall the crew being handed pics of Kent (from Janes ?) to help us identify the correct ship and not give the USSR 'shadower' a free gift. Comms with the RN were always a problem as we never seemed to be on the same page of the code book. This happened during Corporate when drops to the task force ramped up considerably.
