7. May 20, 2013 I am a funeral celebrant and on friday 24/5 I will be conducting the funeral of John Derrick who was in the Royal Navy from 1962 until 1971 serving on HMS Scarborough and HMS London. It is a long shot but perhaps there is someone out there who remembers him and has some stories of their service together. If anything is received and the family approve its use I will include it in the celebration of his life. Regards, Stephen Benson |

5. Oct. 1, 2011 I was the assistant can man on HMS Scarborough in 1967. I was working for NAAFI at the wrens depot, Plymouth and playing for a Plymouth rugby team and was asked if I would 'volunteer' to go ship-side to make up the Navy 15 as scrum half. HMS Torquay and Tenby made up the other Frigates and I think HMS Hampshire led the Dartmouth Training Squadron. We were off to play Navy's of the world in Halifax, Canada. A great tournament which we won. We were all awarded trophies (sadly I have lost mine). If any one has any photos I would love to see them. I am now living in New Zealand. Have a good one. Cheers Mike Kelly Former can man and No 9 HMS Scarborough 1967 |
