COMMENT THIS PHOTO(13)
I was of age 9 at the time of visit to the Portsmouth Naval Base.
My father was in the Diplomatic Cord at the Yugoslav embassy in London, as a Naval Attache.
The event at the Portsmouth Naval Base was, the reunion of all foreign Naval Attaches at that time in GB, together with their families, and the event was called fore and organized by the Admiral of the Portsmouth Naval Base.
I still remember very well the impressive foot & boat tour around the Naval Base and the grand lunch ceremony in the pompous hall at the Naval Base.
Kind regards/Jadran

From the very early 60-s (when I was 10) Tina for always remained in my mind.
She was not only huge, but was also a top styled tanker.
