Hi. My Dad (John Walton - L/SFX 901935)RIP served on HMS Eagle from 10-11-51 to 24-10-53, his rating was NA1/AH3 (not sure what that means. I found a old scrap book with some photo's from his time aboard along with his service records. I would be happy to scan and email to you so they can be published on this site.

I too was with the Royal Marines Band on board '64 - '66.I'll never forget the time in Mombasa - October and December,I was able to visit my parents in Malawi,where my father had moved from the UK to be town clerk in Lilongwe.Thanks to the Welfare on board I had a loan and paid them back on return to Plymouth.Happy days!!

I was a ships cook in main galley and bakery. Was carried off to RNH 18th June 1967. Spent 18 months in RNH end of life in Pusser.

two years earlier and we would have been in the same mess 3e2, as i was there 64 to 66.might even have slept in the same bunk, what a small world it is.

Hi Shipmates & Big John ! I am lucky enough to be attending the "100 years of naval aviation" Garden Party on July 9th at Buckingham Palace,so I will be sure to mention our ship & our website to anyone who will listen--who knows,there might even be some other Eagles there !

I think I was at that New Years Eve party with at least one other member of the Royal Marine Band. His name was Dick (Sharky) Ward. Ray Moysey (a civvy) may also have been there with his family. We toasted the New Year several times to coincide with various time zones.

I was a member of the Royal Marines Band for the 1964-1966 commission.

Does anyone remember spending New Year's Eve 1965 at Silversands Leave Centre, Mombasa followed by a party in one of the staff's house which went on till around 6am? You may also remember the 2 daughters - Dee and myself.
