The May Bank Holiday saw a rare visit to Tollesbury by the East Coast Branch. As a green submarine lieutenant faced with de-generating generators I managed to persuade my team and Malta Dockyard to lift both armatures out of HMS OPOSSUM for repair. Returning as a 'goofer' to HMS OCELOT in Chatham Dockyard (a haunt of the East Coast Branch) I still can't quite fathom how we got them out and back in again? As you can see Tollesbury can present a similar conundrum but, of course, for the splendid North Sea spring tides we experience round here.
