C'mon chaps enough is enough. This is a MILITARY aircrew forum so he obviously wants to know about...
HMS Jaguar, a J-class destroyer, that was sunk by two torpedoes from U-652on March 26 1942. Amongst the 53 men rescued was Edward Gerard Napier Mansfield who later, as Vice-Admiral Sir Ged Mansfield, was Acting Secretary of the Queen's Silver Jubilee Trust and raised over £300,000 for the newly-formed Prince's Trust. Sadly he died recently and his obit was in yesterday's Telegraph. Fascinating chap by all accounts.
I love a good military obit don't you? What's your favourite? Ooops sorry ,off topic int I?
