Certainly brought back memories of when I was a boy in Gosport. Crossing the harbour on the ferry was a big adventure, checking which ships were in and looking under the Harbour Station - all that Victorian ironwork fascinated me...
so great to see old footage of when i was a Boy 1954 onwards.
When Britain was a proud, strong, independent & prosperous nation. How it has changed in such a short period of time.
That certainly wasn't the case in 61 the country was massively in debt primarily to the USA, aside from that the end of empire meant the UK wasn't able to exploit the wealth and resources of other countries.
@HMS King George V Its 100% true in the context of the comment I was replying to. Post WW2 the decline of empire, (in particular the loss of India), meant we could no longer fund our armed forces to the scale they were in this video, a reduction in size was inevitable.
The aircraft carrier is the INS Vikrant (ex-HMS Hercules) which was sold to India in the late 1950s
I remember Navy Days at Rosyth, always went with my ex-RN father and this was early to late '60s. Every year less and less RN big ships loads of smaller ships but the ships small boys want to see were missing.
no high viz insight, ahh those were the days , , great film again there squire.
Even when I was in the Royal Navy in the 80s the Ric
dockyard was busy as hell. We were buffers party from nelson, skidding about in the battery powered Richard boggies boggies. Then back to my old ship INTREPID for a few beers with the boys. Great days and I didn't know it.
HMS Bermuda C52 HMS Kenya C14 & HMS Sheffield C24 cruisers
We had quite an impressive naval fleet back then even though a few of them could do with a lick of paint.
HMS Sheffield C24 is the ship that was almost a victim of friendly fire - torpedo bombers from the Ark Royal mistakenly engaged her during the operation to sink the Bismarck in WW2...
from research i believe the fully restored old wooden ship in Hartlepool at the royal naval historic maritime centre is named HMS Trincomalee, however, she may of previously been the foudroyant during her long service.
anyone know the old wooden ship ( no masts ) moored up towards the end of this very rare footage. ex L/S (S)
Foudroyant. Now fully restored in Hartlepool. Oldest British ship afloat I think
@@davidatkins6058 Good observation. Also, Victory in full mast tall-ship glory. These days, looks like cowering castrated bull on Disney estrogens.
glad you said Foudroyant and not HMS Foudroyant..completely different ships..TS Foudroyant was originally HMS Trincomalee...nothing to do with HMS Foudroyant...
I so wish that there was no writing across the centre of the screen.
You'd hate Huntley film archives then.
its hardly changed
