Dad was in port in Capetown one christmas, their ship's company was invited up to the Balmoral Hotel. Where they slept Christmas Eve when they woke in the morning they found each had a gift! Dad's was a hand knitted white roll neck jumper that lasted him many years. Mum said she wondered where that came from! Dad has kept the Christmas labels that were stitched on to it.
RFA Mounts Bay receiving the freedom of the Town of Falmouth this afternoon. Is this almost like a parade in Trumpton?
It was filmed for local ITV as a news item.
Linking the ship to Falmouth is good for business in town & with the Docks. The Navy also experience good PR for recruiting.
The French Navy afterwards engaged our Navy on the boating pool in the Maritime museum
