Navaleye
Thanks for that. The book really upset me by its crass inaccuracies. To have it lying around as the only "record" of the final cruise of the AC is such a shame. There are a few laughs though amongst the illustrations- page 44, picture of a "Seaking vertrepping on the after deck" when in fact it's Wessex 5 on the forward deck!! and best of all, page 120 a picture of HMS Alacrity
F60 (instead of F174) using a photo from 1950 odd of the wartime Alacrity!! Ah well - let it rest.
