Good sod's opera there - very enjoyable. F15 - HMS Euryalus - my final draft as killick of outside machinery from '70 - 72. Great ship, a brilliant crowd of lads and some very fond memories.
Haha drake gate brings back memories. Trapped a bird one night who lived opposite the gate. Couldn't use it for about 6 months as every time I did she would spot me and run out 😂
The Leander pictured is HMS Euryalus (F15) post Ikara conversion. I love the colour saturated pics - a lightning rod back to runs ashore and banyans that meant, and mean, so much to us Jacks.
Oi Jack! There's no chance of another carrier coming around Drake island and coming berthing up to Rubble Jetty. Unfortunately. great song, great pictures, love the fact it's Guz.
Brilliant song - must learn this one - my late father was a Merchant Navy Navigating Officer and this strikes a chord for me!
we saw him recently in Louth folk club still great
Beautiful version, for sure.

As an ex- Guzz rate myself, I like this vid, especially since Shep himself was a full-time Pompey Scrote (he said that!) Old times, lovely song.
I remember Cdr. John Lock he was the XO on Hermes
