Sig and tel are both in there but I don't see anything else familiar. This is driving me nuts (didn't have far to go though ;D)...I'm going to pursue this more actively Monday.

I'll let you all know so we can share the relief ;D

Thanks everybody,

No, I don't think that was it. If I come across a RCN site I'll ask there.

Been to Shotley Gate, though, been to Ganges!

Thanks,

He was there 74. We visited in 2002 I think, December and it was a bit fresh. Sadly neglected too.

They had Asdic. Don't know about radar.

I'd forgotten about this thread. I'm going to write to a naval museum or something...it's started bugging me again :P

During my time (67-72) there were "Sparkers" (telegraphists), "Bunting Tossers" (flag wavers) and "Golliwogs (Electronic Warfare - measuring radars, etc.).
