I've been looking for this for ages and it finally arrived today. 'The Birth of the Commandos' by Brig Dudley Clarke (The Listener 25 Nov 1948). This is a transcript of the original BBC Home Service 15min broadcast at 18:45 on Wednesday 17 November 1948.....

@BNBW3 @pinstripedline ...But Richard Farrington was an honourable man and a great boss. A few weeks ago we had a reunion in Liverpool nearly 20 years after NOTTINGHAM's grounding. About 70 blokes turned up. Loyalty is a two way process

I remember my favourite example of poor punctuation - Neurology ward sign, Manchester Royal Infirmary c.1998 -"Medical students must report to the nurse in charge before entering the ward Sister"

@hms_tamar Congrats Teilo - for some reason I've still got your dhobi bag off the Nottingham. I use it to transport logs from the garage to the house! Good luck driving Tamar

@TomTugendhat @DailyMailUK I wish I could give this more than one 'thumbs up'

[Gaz Wild 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @GazWildUK]

@ross_moy I agree with you; all utter shite. They need to read some George MacDonald Fraser

19 years ago today I'd flown off HMS Nottingham with a casualty, so was ashore when she ran aground. This new podcast from our CO, Richard Farrington, is superb and well worth a listen:

@traumakhan @aimeecharnell I hate parachuting! :)

@MoltenSC Same with me - must be a fault

[Gaz Wild 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 @GazWildUK]

@CWGC The picture of his grave on his wikipedia page is mine. I'd visited the graveyard at Souda Bay when I'd gone ashore as MO on HMS Nottingham in 2002. I was in No 1 uniform at the time :). Awesome bloke.....

@Rupert_Frere @kingsbury_ollie @3PARA Love the wellies; always take wellies on Ops. Everyone laughed when I took mine to Iraq in 2003. When it rained++ and everywhere flooded I had dry feet and they weren't laughing....

@colour_history Love it that there are two dudes wearing slippers; always make sure you take your slippers on Ops

This is disgraceful; do these women not know to use an underhand grip when holding a chisel?
