Ship Visit to RFA TIDEFORCE on Sunday 17 July 2022

20/7/2022

 
Good Morning Gents, a few days ago we were invited to the Tideforce for a ship tour and pub lunch. I attach a couple of photos and a "dit" for the website.

On Sunday 17 July 2022 the Plymouth Branch were kindly invited by Captain Chris Clarke to a ships tour and lunch on board RFA Tideforce. The 12 members attending were made very welcome by Captain Clarke and Chief Officer Steve McMenemy along with several of the ships crew. There was much discussion on the differences between ships now and when us veterans were at sea. Lunch was a good ole' RFA curry or scampi. The flight deck was almost as large as a whole LSL! It was a really great day and our thanks to Captain Clarke, Steve and the crew for making it so enjoyable.

On parade = front row left to right. Phil Rogers, Tony Pitt, Jan Reid, John Gerring, Chris Gerring, Dave Thomas, Karem Thomas ( it is not Karen!), Ruth Smith, Joan Davis, Geoff Davis, Crew members. Rear row  L to R. Capt. Chris Clarke, Maurice Mann, Dennis Barker.
On the Bridge talking to Captain Chris Clarke are Maurice Mann and Tony Pitt
