Thanks Frank, i have loved looking at the submarine photo, especially as i was a submariner myself for 16 years, leaving the service in 2005. I conducted my initial submarine training at HMS Dolphin, returning every 3 years to re-qualify in the tank (100 feet tall submarine escape tank). I spent most of my time at the marine engineering college at HMS Sultan or at the Clyde Submarine Base Faslane. I served on HMS Repulse, Splendid and Spartan, i loved every minute of it and only left to spend more time with the family. Fortunately the Merchant Navy is a little better paid or i wouldn't be able to afford my +8.
Is Jeff Tall still the curator at the HMS Dolphin museum? It would be a fantastic location for a meeting at some point next year!!!!!
