MESSAGES.
HMS URCHIN JAMES SPRING.. My grandfather James Spring served on the HMS
Urchin as a stoker during WW2. He is still around and 80 years old
this December. I am searching for some pictures of the ship, can you
please help?
ADMIRAL OF THE FLEET LORD LEWIN...... My father was Terry Lewin,
ultimately he became
Admiral of the Fleet Lord Lewin whose last appointment was as Chief of the
Defence Staff at the time of the Falklands conflict. He died in January
1999
after which I passed the major part of his "important effects"
to the National
Maritime Museum (where he had also acted as head of the trustees). His
life has
been well covered in Richard Hill's authorised biography "Lewin of
Greenwich"
which is still in print and a good read. Now I am collating other
materials about him and
would particularly like to hear from all and any former colleagues, ship's
companies, national servicemen, anyone, with stories, memories and
recollections about him. I am particularly interested in sea jobs (but
anything
is welcome) which in order from 1939 were;- Belfast, Valliant,
Ashanti, Chequers, Corunna, HMY Britannia, Urchin, Tenby, Hermes. I
am aware that unless I collect these stories now
they will soon be lost so please, all of you, try to remember
something!
Many thanks, Tim Lewin
HMS HARDY
My grandfather A/CPO CE
Tuckwell (Taff) was one of the crew members killed in January 1944. I
would like to hear from anyone with more information about my grandfather
and the incident.
HMS VIGILANT REG GEORGE... My
father served on HMS Vigilant 26th Destroyer Flotilla from 1943-45. HMS
Vigilant took part in the sinking of the Japanese cruiser Haguro in 1945.
Sadly my father passed away in 1992. If there are any former members or
relatives of the crew of Vigilant who would be interested in photos or
paper cuttings. I
have also a copy of the radio printout for the sinking of Haguro.
HMS VIRAGO
DAN DONELLY.. My father, Dan, served on HMS
Virago from 1947, following a refit. Any information about him or the ship
WILKIN. My father served on HMS Virago from
1945 to 1948. I believe Virago was on the Haifa patrol during this time.
My Father was a Chief Petty Officer in Engineering. I have some photos
of Virago sailing from malta and my father with other crew members. i
would be happy to show these photos and a few sea stories with anyone who
served on Virago during this time. My dad served on HMS Virago shortly after World War
2 as a CPO in Engineering, a "Tiffie" as I believe they were
called. I would like to contact a few of my Dad's ol' shipmates, if
I can, or perhaps anyone who sailed on the "Haifa Patrol".
I am attaching a photo of my Dad in the Beer Garden at the Mulberry Club
in Haifa dated August 1946. If anyone has any information on HMS
Virago or its crew members please contact Tom Wilkin at
HMS URANIA JANION..
My father served on HMS Urania from Dec 1955 to November 1957. I am
looking for a photo of HMS Urania, I tried Wright and Logan, it seems they
are no more. If anybody can help I would love to hear from them contact.
Chris Janion
HMS URANIA & HMS VENUS.. BARBOUR..
During April 1953 and May 1955 I served on both HMS Venus and HMS Urania
as a Coder (Educational). All the photographs I had of this period were
destroyed in a house fire and I have no photographic memories left to
share with my son. If anyone has pictures of HMS Venus & HMS Urania. I
would love to see a copy. I would love to hear from anyone who has any
photos from this period. Contact John Barbour at johnbarbour@ntlworld.com
HMS UNDINE MALCOLM
(BUCK) TAYLOR... I
was a Mechanical Engineer (stoker), from 57 to 60, and was on board the
night we were sailing off Breast, when a fuel pump in the boiler room
failed, at the time we were sailing in line astern with HMS Undaunted.
With the failure of the fuel oil pump we lost speed, and the Undaunted
crashed into our stern, entering in the seamans messdack, my damage
control was aft of that position in the aft tiller flat, I was not
too keen on manning that position, as it looked to me as if the whole
stern would fall off into the sea.
We
patched up the damage as much as we could, and sailed to Plymouth for
repairs.
I
would be most obliged to know if there are any more shipmates
who remembers that night.
HMS URSA RONALD
JAMES COLLINS.. Anyone who knew my father Ronnie Collins from
Liverpool, i think he served in the galley, he had family somehere in
London, an uncle surname Mutch, originally from Liverpool. Thanks, Steve
Collins. My Father was rescued from the South China sea by
HMS Ursa May 1945, after his Dakota had to ditch. I am looking for photos
and info of this ship and crew at that time. if you can help, please
contact John Chaloner |
