F53 67/69

Welcome aboard Maurice (Your Lordship) More than happy to have you back on the Ship's Book - Even yet ANOTHER Stoker - Where DO they all come from?
Jim: I did actually venture into a pub in Weymouth (The Black Dog)once: That was when I used to drink beer (bitter) so as not to stand out from the rest of the crew
Hated the flaming stuff but didn't want to be different:
Just for the fun of it as well - 4 of us got caught drinking under age and had to go to Weymouth Magistrates Court:
She fined us £2 and Capt. Cassidi gave us 1 month's stoppage of civvies for appearing in court - - Talk about justice eh?

I served in the Undaunted 1956/58 (national serviceman) ex Stoker. I will see you at the reunion in Blackpool in Oct.

aye.
(Lord)Snowdon

I'll ensure you don't leave without a wet Jim, I'll have your 'limers' ready for you!
Photo taken with my crew after the North Sea Race dinner in yacht club at Hoorn, Holland. We were well gone by this time because no 'Limers' were available!

Thats a magnificent offer George, its a long time since I've been "called round", but just remembered I will have to drive home

Jim

ps I could use my bus pass

My invitation is to any ex Undaunted/Eagle matlows visiting Tall Ships festival at Hartlepool. I'll advise you if the Tot's run out!

Whiskey, with being "T", you probably never ventured into a pub in Porland (thats how the locals pronounced it, ha).
The Tall Ships at Hartlepool should be good, with some fine sailing ships expected. Hope you all have a great time. I may even venture down that way with my camera, but will have to remember not to mention the monkey

Jim

I see you live in Norton Barry; our yacht 'Georgia' is berthed at Q9 in Hartlepool Marina; you're welcome to drop in for a tot during the 'Tall Ships' festival as I will be onboard with friends from the 6th to 10th August. You will have to contact me on my mobile: 07980059460 in order for me to allow you entry to the yacht basin though.

Is it just my computer playing up or is there anyone else who can't access the reunion pages at all?
All I keep getting is that the server has been reset???????????

By the way BJ - - Where is Porland?
Only just noticed it - - I know where PorTland is - but not Porland

You got no "T" in Portland - -

I know - They only serve coffee so there's no tea - - the old uns are the best!!

Been contacted through Forces Reunited by Peter Dixon ex Undaunted AB c1973, who is trying to contact his old oppo, David Shearer.
Ike's flag is now in the Eisenower Room at Culzean Castle, in the careful hands of the National Trust for Scotland.

Keith, thanks for your input. I will chase this book up. Thanks to BJ and team for permitting this research. Hope it is of interest to the members. Don't forget TOMORROW is the 40th anniversary of the abolition of the tot.
"UNDAUNTED en-route Normandy July 2010".

Part 2.General Eisenhower's flag. Lt.Bray wrote an excellent book covering Undaunted's first commission and he wrote "we had to make a Five Star General's flag and hoist it to the masthead as we steamed through the fleet..." I saw the flag many times in the wardroom and I think it is now in a museum in Edinburgh.

My message is in two parts as it appears to be too long.
Re General Eisenhower's flag(Part 1).The query posed by George Temperley and answered conclusively by Barry Hepple(1644), and who would doubt the word of a Chief Yeoman?, canbe confirmed by a witness to the event. I joined the ship in Malta acouple of months after D-Day and serving on the ship was Lt.Michael Bray D.S.C. R.N.V.R.

Robin Williams,
If you want the 'full works' why not contact the Committee on
www.pmbdt.co.uk who could arrange a static display for your event. Members of this website may also be interested in visiting the site as it covers much things Naval and illustrates the unique displays that we arrange throughout the season (with a couple of U-tube #@*%!s too). In my last post I extolled the virtues of the UNDAUNTED website and praised BIG JOHN (B.J.). I apologise for not mentioning his son, JORDAN and also the members of the site too, without whom this website would not go from strength to strength. Well done everybody.
(Another stoker) M(E)1 1962-63.

Jan Kimber has been in touch and he was in the old girl twice, he can't make this year to Blackpool but is interested in bristol.

If they only had sound on these things you'd hear me applauding your handiwork Sandy
Glad to hear that the sea trials went off O.K. (Not that she'd have played up anyway - she just weren't like that!!!!!)
What a lovely model - Every inch the Old Lady she always was (Yes and a "bitch" at times as well I know)
Not that you need it mate but my heartiest congratulations on a splendid piece of work

HMS UNDAUNTED (1944) afloat again in the Portsmouth area. As she will take part in various WWII displays she is not flying the unique Ike flag hoist yet. She did her 'sea trials' yesterday on Canoe Lake Southsea and behaved impeccably. Thanks you very much guys for your research and replies. Very much appreciated. Have a splendid reunion in Blackpool and keep up the excellent work on what is one of the best ship websites BJ. Bravo Zulu.

82 DAYS TO BLACKPOOL LAD's

Whiskey,
I would agree wholeheartedly with your comments. I have always found ex-Services personnel helpful in the extreme when it comes to research. It also works both ways.
Barry,
very many thanks for your latest submission, that throws a different light on the matter and is the most constructive suggestion so far. Most would argue 'why advertise your illustrious presence on the battlefield'? but I feel that Service protocol demanded it during WWII. Were you a Yeoman of Signals by any chance?
