Do you have the names of the ships which were with Tiger on this visit to the Tyne Dennis ?
In fact Tiger had not long returned from an extensive trip around South America between 24 Sept - 2 Dec 1964 as flag of the Special squadron. Those involved were....
H.M.S. Tiger C20, Capt H.L.Lloyd. D.S.O., R.N. and flag of C-in-C S. Atlantic & S. America, Vice Admiral Sir Fitzroy Talbot. K.B.E., C.B., D.S.O*., R.N.
H.M.S. London D16, Capt J.C. Bartosik. D.S.C., R.N.
H.M.S. Lynx F27, Capt P.M. Austin., R.N. The only ship here actually attached to this station.
H.M.S. Penelope F127, Cdr J.L.N. Ommanney., R.N.
H.M.S. Odin S10, Lt Cdr R.H. Mann., R.N.
R.F.A. Wave Chief A265, Capt P.J. Mc Carthy. R.F.A.
When the squadron disbanded in December, Tiger and Penelope returned to the UK via Dakar. London took the Admiral and his staff to Simonstown with Lynx.
Thats all folks. Sean.
