Tigger - I served on HMS Hermes in the 60s when it was a proper, fixed wing aircraft carrier. I saw a few aircraft, buccaneers, vixens and gannets struggle to take off and land on the angled deck! The Wessex also had problems with sea water getting into the fuel with dramatic results. I served for over 25 years so likely came across some of your high ranking golfing members. I was a lowly engineer but loved every minute of it. Great to be a serving member of the GGP fraternity for the last 3years, but no way I can do 25 years here! Good luck to you et Al. Perhaps I can join you guys at The Stag next time?
