Great work done be Jenny and all her girls.
No doubt Noah will have a smile on his face as Jenny sorts out his Ark for him.

A grand lady. Look out for possible obituaries, based on the tribute at the top of the thread written by naval historian Charles Addis, in the DT, Times, Navy News (but not the April issue) and Pompey News. If anyone has any particularly good photo scans of Jenny, with or without side party, please PM me so I can pass them on to the appropriate people. I'll ask that you are credited.

Like the rest of you I have good memories for Jenny and her helpers. First time was in 1980 whilst onboard the "Black Pig". Must say though was never sure the goffa's were actually what they said they were.

RIP

Remember her from Newfy - ashore one afternoon a b great limousine with tinted windows nearly drove over my foor - Jenny was driving it.

Returning in Cossack in 1957, while Father was trying to berth on War Afridi for fuel, FOUR side parties scrambled onto the iron deck and raced up to the bridge to bid for custom, all screaming at once. These included one that had looked after Cossack of old, one from Comus whose people had been transferred to Cossack in refit, one from Alert whose Jimmy had kindly recommended them, and Jenny's. No.1 went down and locked himself in the sick bay and an SD who spoke some Cantonese managed to sort them out and picked the one led by a man as he was a bit less shrill than the others.

Here is Jenny with her team on board HMS London in 1965:

I remember jenny very well .Being buffers mate i had a lot of dealings with her through of course .She was meticulous in what she did and a lovely person to know her girls too

Many memories of Jenny and her girls, RIP.

A fantastic woman along with her girls and the like of which we shall never probably see again. She had a smile to light up an entire room.

RIP Jenny

Like Nutty was on the Loch Killisport during that time, also Loch Fada and the Salisbury she looked after us all. I agree about the goffas, not sure it was what it said on the bottle, but it was cold and after a night on the San Mig it was very welcome. RIP Jenny one of a kind.
