Back In The Day

This figurehead stood next to the mast adjacent to the ‘parade ground’ at TS Indefatigable at the place with the long name in Anglesey, N Wales. Fully restored it is now an exhibit in the Boy Seamen Training section of the Merchant Navy Museum in Liverpool.
The Indefatigable was my home for eighteen months, I joined the Royal Navy from Wrexham RN Careers Office.

I have not been to Liverpool since I left the Navy, it was renowned for being a ‘good run ashore’. I recall being there in the early ‘70’s in a night club called ‘Clubship Landfall’, it later sank, was refloated and restored and in 2020 was placed on Southsea Common as a memorial, Landing Craft Tank LCT 7074, is now a thing of beauty for people to visit.

Back to today, I successfully completed a two hour stint on the Poppy Stall at Sainsbury’s before home, dinner and an early night.
Mrs S are off on an adventure tomorrow.
