The photo (page 2) shows H.M.S. Belfast astern of H.M.S. Centaur, with either the Solebay or the Finisterre, acting as crash boat whilest the carrier was conducting flying ops. The date is14-20 Feb. 1960 en route to Trincomalee. I was a A/B on the Belfast at this time.

My father was on the Belfast from 1939 until end of war. His name is (he is 90 now) Robert Swallow. Do you have any records of him on board, or names of men he may have served with.

Debra, my uncle was in Belfast around the same time period. Ask Dad if he remembers Johny Cable, Chief Shipwright? To me Johny was what the Royal Navy was all about.
