HI SHIPMATES TERRY DAVIES HERE, BIG E 63/66 STOKER 2PZ2 MESS, JUST JOINED THE 21ST CENTURY ON LINE NOW, he he. lol.

Can anyone tell me if a medal(GSM) was ever awarded to personnel who served on Eagle covering the withdrawal of Aden?
I believe at the time Eagle was on station for a record period?

I joined EAGLE in 1963-1966 A/B Gunner. I worked mostly on the bomb lifts.I can be found in the 64/66 commisioning book in the "Weapons Electrical Department" bot row, 3rd in from the left. After leaving the Eagle in 67 I went to HMS EXCELLENT for two's coarse, I passed out as a GA2.

Do any of the older vets remember David Clay. He flew helicopters and was killed in an accident, I think in the Pacific. This would be mid/late sixties. I used to play with him when little boys as he lived next door to my Granny.

REM(A) 5JI Mess, Air Electrical Dept
1957 to 1959 then to HMS Osprey PHU. then demob 1961

HI ROGER MILLS post 461,My yarn is true (honest chief).Remember the incident in't Arctic,if my memory serves me right,there were two choppers in the oggin,as well as the seaboat on its bouyancy tanks. Shame about the SEA VIXEN Memorial Website going like that,i put my testimony down on it,as it was my catapult crew that launched that VIXEN that went in, Vixen 132,sometime i think in early 1968,i eyeballed the pilot as they went up to full power for launch,just after i'd put the holdback into the deck block.R.I.P.

Just been browsing the guestbook for the first time in 2yrs. don't suppose there are many of us left from 54-57 commission. still my favourite ship in the 12yrs I served

Served on Eagle 1967 to 1970. Remember the seaboat well. Young middy in charge of lowering, got carried away and dropped to early. MUD not a happy bunny!
Anyone remember Wally Nangle, he never stopped smiling.
