Nick ATHAWES
89 - 92
Nick was the Chief Shipwright onboard from 89-92 and joins former Chief Chippies, Sam Wellens and Steve "Wobbly" Wagg in the ranks of the Association. Now residing in Sanderstead, Surrey, Nick was a member of the Mighty Manch rugby team that toured the Gulf unbeaten - any excuse to get into the ships drinking team!!! Nick found out about the Association from Chris Baker and Andy Green.
Kev AYRISS
Anthony BAILEY
94 - 96
"Bill" was a killick chef onboard from 94-96. Informed sources tell us his main claim to fame involves a swimming pool in Singers, where he became a Mersey Torpedo specialist!!! Bill now lives in unpolluted East Sussex, and runs a restaurant. He found out about the Association via Taff Powell.

Martin BANNER
Matthew BARNES
85 - 89
"Barney" was an MEM(M) 1 onboard from January 85 until January 89, during which time he worked "all over the place". He heard about the Association from several "old acquaintances".
Paul (Baz) BARRETT
86 - 89
"Baz" was a stoker onboard 86 - 89 and obviously is a Global 86 vet. An Inaugural member of the exclusive 3Q Mess "Billy U Bit Club", Baz is paying for his past sins and his fixation for blue uniforms and is currently a copper in Western Australia. He learned about the Association through Forces Re-united.
Terry BEDDOES
89 - ?
POCA Terry joined the ship in 89 as a relief for Evil Eppy, which was a relief for the whole ships' company (sorry Russ!). Outside since 95 and working as a Catering Manager for Liverpool NHS Trust, he lives in Skelmersdale with his wife Kath, whom he met by being daft enough to respond to one of those mailies that turned up onboard by the sackful wanting a "jolly jack" pen-friend!!

Dave CHILDS
June 83 - August 85
Dave lives in Lancashire and was an Air Engineering Artificer (R) 1st Class (definitely not a Meckanishun). Was onboard from June 83 until August 85. Judging by his email address he also went to sea on a Leander too!! Dave's joining the Association will no doubt be very warmly welcomed by that other maintainer of "angry palm trees", Ian Poulter.
Bill CHURCHLEY
September 82 - April 84
Was a killick bunting tosser from September 82 to April 84. He holds the dubious honour of being the first matelot to go in the "Rattle" on the Mighty Manch for being adrift and nearly missing the ship on its initial sailing form Barrow on build. He heard about the Association through surfing the web, pity he didn't hear the pipe - "The ship is under sailing orders"!!!

Andrew "Taff" Coombs
83 - 85
Taff was a first commission young golly (AB(EW)) who made a big impact immediately on joining the ship. On completion of his first run ashore, on day one, he went xrse over tit down the ladder by the ship's office causing curry, rice and Coombs to be splattered on 2 deck!! Undeterred by this little mishap, our enthusiastic Welsh warrior then proceeded to upset the digestive tracts of the entire EW Dept by making wets with...salt water!! Revenge was very swift which came in the form of his first bunk light bill and the requisite hours obtaining the necessary approval to pay!! Now retired from Pusser UK Ltd, Taff is still a sea-goer. He lives and works as a business analyst in Swan-sea! Joined 03 September 07
