I'm glad this thread was restarted. After my last post, I was lucky enough to be tasked to cover the 60th anniversary of the Russian convoys for the RN. I sailed aboard HMS Sutherland (Type 23 Frigate) to Murmansk, where the ship stayed for a week and a half. The Russian people were most welcoming, and were really greatful for everything that the convoys did. It was a real privilage to meet the Men and Women of The North Russia Club, and the Artic Convoys Club, all of whom I have the deepest admiration for. Several cocktail parties were held for the Vets. The parade through Murmansk was somthing which will stay with me for the rest of my days, when we got to the Aloysha monument just about the whole city had turned out! I'm still getting requests for images now!

Cheers Shipmates!! Chris (Now a Bluenose too!)
