No, harry, you can't bow out as easily as that ! The devil is in the detail - and all the funny bits, too. As has been often said on this Prince of Threads: "A Funny Thing happened to me on the way to the Theatre tonight" - the stand-by entry gag of the old end-of-pier comedians - and it was usually the best part of the Show. Think back over your whole service (what happened to you after you finished training in Canada ?) .... Give ! - we are all waiting round the stove in our cybercrewroom.
Has been asked before, is it true that the York (and Hastings and Valletta) had to be tail-draggers so that the Army could load them out of the back of a three-ton truck ?
Danny.
