Courageous at Barrow 1871

Courageous at Barrow 1871

From "PK" PitkeathlyParade at Barrow for the ships company from Courageous, just back from Contractors Sea Trials, Churchill was in to receive the trials propulser which was very successful and Swiftsure which was starting to crew up. Taken 15th July 71, there were about 150 on parade. The Admiral was Vice Admiral Ian McGeoch and the Cdr nearest was the C.O of Churchill, but not a clue of his name. Given a make and mend after the event, a great run ashore was had by all.

Courageous at Faslane

Courageous at Faslane

From "PK" PitkeathlyAlongside at Faslane, having an official visit to Stirling. This caused a massive amount of debate and was not popular with many of the ships company as we were transported to and from by bus daily. Lt Poulter as the Torpedo Officer on the left with OEM Oscar Wilde motor room EM, then Lt Cdr Don Mitchell as the 1st Lt, AB (RP3) Sid White, Miss Sterling and two rather grubby but happy stokers, on the left-hand side.

Courageous at Music.

Courageous at Music.

From "PK" PitkeathlyAt sea, with the extremely unpopular Courageous brass band having a practise in the J/Rs Mess. Notice the un-PC picture in the background, which was very nicely framed and we had to keep checking the craftmanship. CEA Scott, LCEM Tanton usually known as Tintin, then Lt Cdr Walker, unknown and Sub Lt David Perfect on the RHS.

Courageous Faslane 1978

Courageous Faslane 1978

From "PK" PitkeathlyShips company of Courageous at Faslane in 1978 mustered on the casing. I have counted them and I believe there are 117 men. Not sure that this would be encouraged now with all this H & S around.

Courageous WR in harbour

Courageous WR in harbour

From "PK" PitkeathlyW/R scene in harbour with an unknown steward, Lt Cdr Smith??? as 1st Lt???, Lt Peter Godwin as the Supply Officer and two unknown Sub Lts.

From "PK" PitkeathlyTaken in 1971 at my wedding. Lt Nigel Godwin was the Navigator on Courageous at the time, he later commanded Spartan, building at Barrow, I often wonder what became of him? Of the 12 in the photo, five are now dead, gloomy thought.

From Peter ChristmasThis looks like a real piss-up session, obviously on board, but I hope in harbour (but no uniforms, so.......!), showing Magne Stensland (Norway), me and Bjørn Stallemo (Norway)
