619 SEVEROMORSK


Russian Destroyer

In Ayr Bay yesterday in connection with the Varyag memorial event.

Some of the crew were in full buying mode in Ayr's new shopping centre. One particularly mean-looking officer who carried a large briefcase grunted when I said "hello". A junior sailor smiled and nodded to me.

I didn't see any of them in the pub...

Don't think so, yet. Perhaps a petition to 10 Downing Street? I know there is a USS Winston S Churchill:

Heath, whilst Prime Minister, can be credited with scrapping the plans to hand over the Falklands to Argentina, earlier begun by Harold Wilson:
