THE MIGHTY ‘B’ Weeks of speculation about the future of H.M.S.

The Defence Budget is to be increased by three per cent in real terms in 1979-80 over the retained figure for I978-79. it has also been announced that there is to be a further increase of three per cent in I980-81 subject to review "in the light of economic circumstances." The 1978 Defence White Paper is eitpcctcd to be published this month.

As Royal it-'a\'_v and Royal Marine firefighters return to their e.s't:ibli.s‘hment.s and many catch up on leave. the effect on the interrupted training programme is being

Greenwich: The most

Just over 500 years ago, the royal palace at Greenwich became the lirst English house to have glass windows fitted. but the area even then had many centuries of more notable reasons lor lame. "The Stu of Greenwich Palace. Hospital. and h set down by C. M. Dawson. of the College." has Department of History and International Allalrs at the Royal Naval College. The book can be obtained from the author. at R.N.C.. price 23 (plus 25p postage and —

Most

interesting place

who would deny Mr. Dawson‘s sug stion ol Greenwich as the most interesting place in Brita n? "Known the world over lor its astronomy and maritime renown. it provides as well one of the most sublime sights ol English

architecture." The book is generously illustrated. the collection including one remarkable picture. Other places may have a ghost. but an actual photograph of the resident spook is

possibly unique.

When H.M.S. Bulwark made a stylish exit two years ago and disa peared from public gaze into the recesses of ortsmouth dockyard filed under the mysterious initials PxO how man_v would have fancied a flutter on her chances of a come-back? Maintaining morale through the rigours of a refit presents a challenge for any ship. even when there is Ii ht at the end of the tunnel. With the aura o uncertainty hanging over the Bulwark. the problem must have been the --—

—

greater. If the will to survive. both by keeping maximum "life" in the carrier and by extra-mural activity. counts for anything. then the Bulwark deserved to make it. Now her ship's company and those who will be joining in the comin months have a real target as she prepares her new lease of life. The Mighty “B" is one heavyweight to disprove the old boxing adage that they never come back.

NIGHT OF DRAMA FOR 'K|PPER TWO’

Of dedication ——and deserts With the firemen's strike over and Servicemen back to more familiar duty or taking well-earned leave. tributes to a remarkable episode have continued to flow. The experience provided naval firefighters with a mixture of action (including dan er) hilc and boredom in varying proportions. it constituted a disruption in the pattern of duty and family life. it was a challenge which the Service took in its stride. Demands and strains imposed on Servicemen and their families were mentioned in a tribute from the Home Secretary (Mr. Merlyii Rees). who said that these had been met with "unflagging dedication and forbearance." The men had tackled a difficult and unfamiliar role with a courage. skill and determination which had been an example to everyone. Referring to the firefighters’ "magnificent" effort. the Defence Secretary (Mr. Fred .\-ltillcv) said. "The Home Secretary speaks for all members of the Cabinet in expressing admiration for the Service firefighters and thaiikinv them." lt wil of course. be remembered that it was a strike over pay which set the Servicemen in the forefront of public view and served to focus attention on their own pay situation. .-Xppreeiative members of the public. especially those with personal reasons to be thankful. would be gratified to see the Services achieve the pav rates they deserve.

week before the firemen's strike ended. Royal Navy and Royal Marines firefighters dealt with Britain's most nsive fire during the strike. when the ex 1 -bedroom Grosvenor Hotel in Glasgow burned to the ground with an estimated £10 million worth of damage. The story of this fire is raphically recounted in the log of Licut. ohn May. of the Polaris submarine H.M.S. Renown. who commanded the first search and rescue team “Kipper Two“ to arrive on the Just

“O7l945 JAN While en route (to Hots ur Street) a call was heard from Fire Control to and 2 to attend the Grosvcnor Hotel. Great Western Road. where (I fire alarm was in operation. "Ki per 'l'wo" team were in Great Western Road at t e time. so I radioed to Fire Control and informed them that we would investi ate. Time between the first call from Fire Contro and our arrival was about one minute. .-\t the main entrance I met the hotel manager. who informed me that the hotel had been cleared of guests and staff. with the exception of the ni ht porter. who was still checking upstairs rooms. c advised us of the scene of the fire. which was downstairs in the Steak Grill Room. I ordered the first two hrcathin ap aratus John A wcarcrs. l.Rl-ibf John .\lurph_\' an (‘owic to search the Grill Room for trapped personnel. and if ‘|'\'ill?lL'. to locate the fire for the firefighters. ‘l ey then entered the hotel. I remained at the main entrance with the standby B.-\ wearers. After about five minutes a sudden flare-up was seen on the stairs by which the BA wearers had entered the Grill Room. Within another two minutes the whole of the foyer was ablaze and the main entrance doors. which were glass. shattered in the intense heat.

Beaten back Not knowing the layout of the building. I believed that Murphy and Cowie were trapped in the blaze and l asked the lice escort to radio this to Fire Control. By this time the fire was upwards. I broke into a fire exit spreadin to the le t o the main entrance and ordered the standby HA wcarcrs to make an entry and t to find another entrance to the Grill Room. e_v were beaten back by the heat. By this time two appliances had arrived at the front of the hotel in ether with "Kipper One" (the RN Search and escue Unit for north of the River Clyde). This unit went to search the rear of the hotel. Unbeknown to me. Mur hv and Cowic had successfully searched the Gri l Room and. finding no one else present. had roceeded to fight the fire using a hotel first-ai hose reel. The first at the scene had arrived at the rear 0 the hotel and two Marines had entered with

hose. foam branch pipe and foam cannister. Cowic was using the first~aid hose to douse the ceiling and Murphy took the foam hose and directed it on to the flames. They thought they had the fire under control until a sudden flare up caused thick smoke within the room. Murphy told the two Marines to evacuate and he and Cowie continued to fight the fire. This flare-up was the one that I had seen from the front entrance. a

attendance until the fire was under control. An ztllcmpl was made to halt the spread of fire at .1 fire door. The BA wearers took a hose to this door. but the pressure was insufficient to be of great value. and the attempt had to be abandoned. While standing by. the team assisted the occupants of the private flats farther alon the terrace to evacuate personal belongings an valuables. The team remained at the scene until the s read of fire was halted. then returned to base. 0033." line in —

Major New Helicopter fleet

With oil discovered under the North Sea. exploration goes on but production is now the priority production that could put Britain's balance of payments into the black by 1980. Naturally enough, as U.K.'s fastest expanding offshore helicopter operator. we are totally involved in production from the waters offshore the U.K. We're where the action is and we have an increasingly important role in helping the Oil Companies get the oil ashore. We therefore have a vital responsibility to provide the oil men with the best possible service a responsibilityall our staff must live up to. Already we operate a large fleet of eleven Bolkow 105D and Sikorsky S58T twin engined helicopters in the U.K. and are now adding nine larger, fast cruise. high performance helicopters from Sikorsky (the S76) and Aerospatiale (the the very latest products of advanced technology to be the finest SA365) OIiSI10l'e support fleet operating anywhere in the world. The best helicopters deserve the best pilots and engineers and vice versa So we are increasing our professional team of helicopter pilots and engineers to support these new aircraft and would like to hear from experienced helicopter pilots and engineers who are shortly to leave the Services and who will be keen to join us in supporting oil companies in their drive for oil production. For the best pilots and engineers. the best conditions. Commanding or maintaining our modern new aircraft will be rewarding in every way and our fleet salary scales are the very best in the industry. Also of course we operate an excellent pension scheme and cover all our pilots under our Personal Accident and Loss of Licence Policies.
