@Hantsprints They’ve done a lot of retrofitting with regards weapons. My twin 30mm gun mountings and STWS tubes look to have been replaced by a Phalanx automatic gun; and I can’t see the 3” rocket launchers either.
I believe the ship had a collision in the Middle East and was written off
@TalkNorwichCity @klobo15 I find this a very interesting situation. I spoke to Glen Riddersholm at a fans forum some weeks ago and we discussed the Jurasek situation. He told me what the physical symptoms are and I said what I thought it is, as I had it as a young player many years ago, and he agreed!
@GregMerseyexile Yes I was aware that Des has gone to the great racetrack upstairs. And yes it was Des that was looking after me at Jurby. Top man and will be missed by many.
@SteveSawford You won more than enough, champion!!
Not too bad thanks, just building up the courage ( and money mountain) to refurbish my 125 ! One of my sons wants to take it for a ride…..
Hope all okay with you.
@CocksyIOM Any chance of a high res copy of that image please? Not too many of me on that bike in the Island; which is a surprise really as I was going slow enough it for anyone with an instamatic to capture a photograph!!
@SteveSawford And dad told that story a few times with a smile on his face!
I seem to remember you fell off diving underneath me at the ‘new’ Russell’s chicane at Snetterton at the end of the first lap one time!! It was impressive how you missed everyone in the pack… Happy Days.
@GregMerseyexile Not seen that before. I’ll take a proper look tomorrow. I joined it in the summer of 1981 when she was still be fitted out at Woolston. Just across the river from where Saints ‘new’ stadium is.
@GregMerseyexile Initially, when recycling was put further up the agenda, bottle tops weren’t supposed to be recycled. But now most of them can, so nanny is helping us to fulfill our recycling obligations!!!
@GregMerseyexile At the same time as Foden and Alexander-Arnold. We might start to look like a strong team then. Dodgy start by England, but cracking goal from Bellingham who is head and shoulders above everyone else on the park.
