Strange as I was thinking about our "Windrush" when I saw it.

The only thing that I wish,was that I was that young again,and I did tell you that I was banned from the kitchen. The best days of my life

Why were you banned from the kitchen Derek? I would love to see some photographs of your naval days if you don't mind? I love reading about old warships and seeing pictures.

Yes! I think old warships are fascinating. Even the ocean liners that were taken for the war effort, RMS Olymic rammed and sank a U boat, that is fascinating. What went through the minds of the crew on the ship, for example. I wish some of these ships had been preserved.

To read the full list of crew & their titles/pay is an insight to Britain's first Steam powered,iron clad warship.There were 12 bandsmen,who each got 16/- ,on a warship
