Oddly enough I had just been asked by the Gp Wpns O if we needed to carry two Lindholme ASR and the 3 dinghy pairs when the late Norman Tench went and dropped the lot at the Fastnet.
Think back, it was more or less an SOP SAROP. But thinking back from here, you wonder why there was not the odd medal dished out; perhaps because they made it seem so easy.
