McCarrons books were notoriously inaccurate a fact that Tony was constant to point out. His other pet hate was plagarism and used to regularly take Justin Horgan apart for his ' co operation ' with...

Yes and no,the longevity meant that replacement dates were pushed out to a point that we could never replace them on a one for one basis based on cost alone

If it were seen that the NSR now had a purpose and the means to undertake it it could possibly increase the amount of those enlisting

Buy the four, better to have them sitting there rather than having to look for something when we need them. If these were to be based out of Dublin this is the type of vessel that could be manned by...

Goes back to the ethos of everybody being an infantryman at entry level and everything after that is there to support the infantryman, common denominator.

If it is to be manned by civilians all this goes out the window, with regular shift patterns a the usual layers of supervision and management. Training and technology can address and short falls you...

Cmdre Brett was a nice guy, even let me carry his golf clubs once:n:) Joe Deasy the Navys First Diver , I see another face in the back round Jim 'Chippy'...

Tailored Image a very good outfit to deal with, I use them for work wear and had been talking to them re the Navy stuff earlier in the year when I was setting them up as a supplier. The managaeed to...

I think you'll find that someone will slot in RDF under DF when it suits and withdraw it from underneath that umbrella if it doesn't.

Thats was the proposed figures but at times it was in excess of this or as it nowadays well below this. The establishment was for 72 all ranks but in 86/87/88 it ran above this as a lot of the...
