(H.M.S.) PAGHAM (Minesweeper - M2716), 120 tons displacement,
completed Jones Buckie, Buckie, 2-1956
sold 1983 - derelict at Drummore 2008

Hull - 4 July 1967:

I renewed acquaintance with her several years later when she was the vessel allocated to Sea Cadets, and there followed two or three trips on her out of Hartlepool and along the Tees.

A great day out finished with subsequent photos of:
DOCKMAN - see: viewtopic.php?f=17&t=4740
Trio of former EMPIRE tugs: RIFLEMAN, AIRMAN and GUARDSMAN - see: viewtopic.php?f=61&t=11981
and, finally, ROSS RODNEY - see: viewtopic.php?f=137&t=10286

Ron,
You are probably correct but the several times we enjoyed a trip out in her she wasbeing operated by and on behalf of the local Sea Cadets.
