Thread Name: D. Day. Respects For Jim Radford.
Subject: RE: D. Day. Respects.

I've come here because I am looking for the song about the Rescue Tugs, I think it's called The Tatty Mob or (D1243?) and there is an oft-appearing line:

The Bustler and the Growler, Jaunty and Tenacity ...

I know who sang it (with great passion, and probably wrote it) but I don't know his name.

( Someone else cares too, as a web search yielded http://uboat.net/allies/warships/types.html?type=Rescue+Tug )

Does anyone know where i can find the lyrics for Jim Radford's "Tatty Mob" song please? I wanted to show someone whose relatives were among the many merchant seamen who died at sea because their merchant ships were attacked in the war. Elizabeth.
