(:LIMBERS CAUGHT IN AVALANCHE

OP

-

IN HINDU Sara Shigri means Big Ice, a term two Royal Navy lieutenants came to understand only too well when they took pad in the British Sara Shigri expedition and became the first climbers to scale a previously unclimbed peak.

The mountain has been named Tika Parbat (Fine Mountain) after LI Paul Karl whose nickname is Tigger and details have been sent to the Indian Mountatneenng Federabon to be registered.

Lea Paul Hart. from the Royal Marines Commando Train tog Centre. Lympstone, and Gan Jenkins. from Royal NaCollege. Greenwich, mined the team as medic and photographer in an attempt to climb Mount Shegn Parbat (23000ft) and one unclmmbed peak (21.10011).

val

it was after they had reached the summit of the Previously unchmbed peak and started their hazardous ski desoent of the mountain

that the pair cam closest to disaster. ,,We came to one particularly tricky bit that was heavily crevassed and very, sleep." said Paul Hart. "1 was leading and because I was so tired I decided to take the easy and try and traverse the slope on skis.

'1 had covered about 60 yards when I heard Car. I I'd shouting. thought dropped something but as I turned around the whole area I had gust covered was swept away in an avalanche. I was right on the edge. so close that the back of my skis were hit and I was knocked to the ground. ft was only the fact that my backpack stuck in the snow that I wasn't carried with

op-Son

IL..

The snowfield swept ly down the mountain and over the edge of a 4.00011 rock face but luckily Paul and Can were able to continue with the ski descent and arrived back at one of the lower camps some hours later.

Earlier in the mission the pair had come face to face with disaster during their attempt on Mount Shign Parbat.

They had got within 70011 of the summit before bad weather forced them to set up camp on a ridge at over 20.00011.

~s-

White-out

Unfortunately conditions deteriorated even further and for the next now days they were unable to move from the ridge, enduring complete white-out conditions and average temperatures in their tent of mInus 25 degrees C. To make matters worse they began to run out of food because porters had had to turn back on the inset ascent due to altitude sickness and at the end of the nine days they had lost over 20kg. In -tOn the meriting of the ninth day Paul and Gafl decided to ski off the mountain but not before attempbng and succeeding in reaching the of the unctimbed peak.

Safely back in the UK after their adventure. the fire of the mountains Is already calling them back and both mart are looking forward to taking part In an expedition to climb the Nun end titan peaks in Kash-

Bridport renews, old friendship

AN invitation to visit Brldport by the town's Mayor, ClIr Roger Draper, has further strengthened the already strong links between the town and HMS Bridport, the Latest Sandown-class mlnehunter to enter service.

The visit at the end of last year provided the opportunity for the Mayor and a group of follow councillors and members of the RNA to spend a day at see to witness -'their ship's capabilities (See page 23).

In fine weather the Mayoral petty were given a tour of the ship and witnessed a flying display from one of 722 Squadron's Sea Kings.

Alongside at Portland visits by the ship's adopted Sea Cadet Unit, TS Keppel. The Royal British Legion, 8ridport Veterans' Rugby Club and Bridport RNA renewed friendships made during the commissioning in 1953.

After being heated to lunch end a 'lot" by the RNA, a game of rugby against the Bndport Veterans followed. Supper with the committee of IS Keppel concluded the weekend activities before HMS Brldport sailed for a sea day for students at Britannia Royal Naval College Dartmouth and for operations off the west coast of Scotland.

"MORE cuts on the way" has been a popular reaction to the Independent Review of Service Manpower Structures Careers Terms and Conditions of Service, Well maybe they could have started by pruning the title a bit ...

'On the question of pensions. the position of ioday's Servicemen and women is clear - existitig members of the Armed Forces Pension Scheme will continue to serve under the conditions and expectations of that scheme. Any new scheme will be for new joiners.--They say there is no disguisin the Review's importance an potential impact - but its aim is to ensure that the Navy can continue to recruit and retain the right quality people for the challenges it will face in the early part of the next century.

In this context, it has been looking at how people will join: how long they will serve, in what branches and in what ranks: where they and their families will tisc: how tong they will spend awas from home: how their pay

is calculated; and what extra costs will be reimbursed.

And it has been collecting much of its information from source - through visits to ships on Joint Maritime Course exercises, to Rosal Marine Cornrnaisdos in the field and embarked in amphibious ships. to earners in the Adriatic and to units ashore in Bosnia and Northern Ireland - even to a dived nuclear submarine.

Said Mr Bctt after a visit to the Type 22 frigate PINtS Boxer on operational sea training oft Portland: "These visits have left us very pressed by the calibre, professionalism, ethos and education of today's Servicemen and women."

His final report is due shortly.

Head of Oral History, Chris Howard Bailey.

Choice of pictures is occeiionally unfortunate alongside the many grim tales Of survival against the odds are photographs of the rescued looking mostly relaxed and cheer. ful, though this naturally titifiss to their indomilable spirit.

There are some real gems here that might otherwse newer have got into print - such as the story of one redoubtable old re tired American master mariner who returned to the service to do his bit to help the UK ('the Old Lady").

His Chip was torpedoed and he was picked up half dead from the water. One of his legs appeared to be frozen solid. so that his rescuers assumed rigor mortis had already set in - until the leg was found to be tin and stutled with dollar bills, representing his life savings "which we dried out for him in the boiler room. and handed back to him when we returned to Liverpool."

IT WAS back in 1918 that Bs)l Hensby (bottom right) and his fellow Signal Soya from HMS Battiam stepped into the studio for this group photograph.

Almost 76 years have now gone by and Bill would dearly love to hear from any of his shipmates pictured above or from their relatives.

Contact him at 5 Segrave Close Weybridge, Survey.

FOLLOWING on from the successful Action Pack programme launched into schools four years ago, the Royal Navy has announced a further support to PE teachers.

More than 96 per cent. of secondary schools take part in the Action Pack programme and, as a re*.utt of extensive research among teachers, Action Ac rogymnastucs" has been produced to enhance and develop the original programme.

Written arid devised by practising teachers in association with the British Amateur Gymnastics Association (BAGA), the resource aims to meet the needs of teachers and of FE pupils aged 12-15.

In addition Action Acrogymnastici offers a range of extracurricular applications in areas such as after-schools actwi1ie. gym clubs and leisure centres.

Many of the gymnasts involved in producing the programme have represented Britain-: the materials therefore cover routines that can be used effectively in schools through to international level.

The comprehensive package comprises a video, a teacher's guide. five posters. 35 pupil activity cards and 4 Sample merit cefl,fiCit. Available from spring onwards, one pack per school is free on request to The Royal Navy Education Service, P0 Box 94. Poole.

The Navy pack winked impressively as a unit in all aspects of play and came out winners.

Forced to defend resolutely towards the final whistle, the RN held out for a well.dc.served 25-16 win. Greater concentra(ion and effort to reduce numerous and repeated penalties would have rewarded them with a much greater margin and, incidentally, relieved the tension both on and off the field.

COME-BACK KIDS FALTER

DETERMINED to do well following their disappointing performance against! Cambridge, the Royal Navy nevertheless made a poor start in the match against Oxlord University and were two goals behind after just 12 minutes. wrftn

Lv Cd: Jim Desks.

But they gradually put their game together. Alter his header narrowly missed, POPT Ian Smith made no mistake with a line shot five minutes from half time.

IWEM David Longhorn (CoIling. wood) made an impressive debut. He forced a corner and took the kick himself, from which Smith headed powerfully home to level the scores at 2-2.

Not possible

The bitncsc or the Navy team began to tell as they scored three goals in the last 12 minutes. Mnc Let Aston (110 and Sigs Sqn RM). LAEM Nigel Thwaitcs and I'OPT Glen Young were the scorers. That gave the Navy a 5-2 victory, a scoreitne which had not looked possible after the lint 20 minutes of the game.

Another university, side provided the neat opposition and again the Navy found themselves 2-1) down early in the match. POC4 Des Mercer was first to score for the RN in their game against London University. his first goal for the senior team.

Glen Young had contributed to that goal and shortly before half time added a goal of his own, when he headed in a deep cross from OM Geoffrey Holland.

Beyond doubt

It was slightly against the run of play in the second half when CPOWEA Steve Johnson scored with a perfect header after a well-taken corner by POPT Ens Barrett, The game was put beyond doubt when Young scored again with a good shot from the edge of the area.

These were much-improved but the Navy will not be able to count on recovering from two goal deficits in their South West Counties Championship matches against county opponents.

The side then made their first visit to Blackfield and Langley and the entertaining game ended with honours even,

perfor-mances.

at 1-I. The first hall was goalless and the home side went ahead in the 75th minute.

Ten minutes later Mne Lee Aston equalised, scoring from a narrow angle following a free kick on the right by Barrett.

Both sides played attacking football in the Navy's match against the Amateur Football Alliance at Old Bromleians Ground, The game ended in a 22 draw.

Once again the Navy had to pull back from being two goals behind.

Their scorers were POPT Steve Riley and ('p1 Terr Price. both of whom scored! with fierce headers.

The Navy's display of determination earned them the draw, but they will need to convert the chances their attacking play creates if they are to achieve the victories they deserve.

In their opening match of the South West Counties Competition, current holders the Navy took on Cornwall at Bodmin, wrists CPOPT Richard Rnd,

Cornwall settled quicker. hitting the crossbar in the opening minutes, but didn't score until the 20th minute, with a header passed keeper White who had

slipped trying to cut out the cross.

They were presented with a second shortly afterwards, when the ball slipped from White's grasp leaving their forward with a simple tap in.

Changes made at half-time brought the RN back into the game. P019' Uaigh scored with a shot on the turn, buy Cornwall immediately retaliated, regaining their two goal advantage.

Final stove: Cornwall 3 RN 1.

Next game in the Competition was against Wiltshire at Melksham and again the pitch was wet and An early goal from POI'l' Glen Young was disallowed.

However, disaster struck when LPT Willetts gave the ball away just outside the box and in an effort to win in back dived in when it would have been more prudent to delay the player. Wiltshire's penalty opened the scoring and in the second half defensive slips allowed them to add three more. Final scorer

THE LONG-awaited artificial turf pitches at HMS Temeraire were the setting for this year's Inter-Command Hockey Championships, held over two blustery days but boasting some outstanding play.

It soon emerged that the title' was to be settled between Fleet, the Royal Marines and Naval Air. Then Fleet, who this year boasted a number of high-class, players, went down 2-0 to Air Command and it was apparent they would have to settle for third.

Fortune had it that the last game of the competition was to be the final between the Royal Marines and Naval Air. Both went into the match unbeaten and sharing identical goal differences and predictably the game was hard, fast and skilful. The Royal Marines' cut, thrust and run-style sharply contrasted against Naval Air's more controlled and structured play.

In this tight contest the single, first half goal from AEA Rattler Morgan, playing in his first Inter-Command, was enough to give Naval Air Command victory.

It must be said, though, that AEM Richard Potter had to produce some fine saves in the Air Command goal to deny the Royals.

The Indian Air Force Trophy was presented to Air Command captain CPO Mark Ardagh by Capt. Crawford, chairman of the RN Hockey Association.

Naval Air's outstanding day was capped with the award of the Man of the Tournament Trophy to LAEM Jim Moseley.

FOUR semi-finalists emerged from the 12 starters in the Inter-Unit Volleyball Competition held at HMS Nelson.

They were HM ships Collingwood, Daedalus, Seahawk and Neptune.

The strong Collingwood team, pictured, had a fairly leisurely 3-0 win over Neptune, while the Daedalus v Seahawk game proved more of a battle. In the end Daedalus just had the edge.

Fresh after a long rest, the Collingwood players retook the court to face a tired Daedalus side. Their skill and energetic pace soon told and Collingwood won the match 3-0.

The Collingwood team comprised Lt Hall, Lt Black- I burn-Jones, P0 Page, LWEA Ahern, CPO Stephens, LWEA Reynolds, LWEM Dickins, LWEM Ford and P0 1 McKinnon.

Meanwhile, the RN men's volleyball squad have lost 30 to Priory and to London Lynx, beaten Weymouth 3-2 and beaten Varsovia 3-0.
