    HELP!!! hms illustrious

    hi everyone, i hope someone can help me? i travelled back from sierra leone late 2000 on hms illustrious, i was one of a couple of british army guys who was on board. on the way home a photograph was taken, from a helicopter, off the entire ships company on deck. i would love to get hold of a copy of this photo and was wondering (long shot!!!!!) if anyone on this forum was also on board and might have a copy or know where i might get hold of one?
    thanks in advance

    Welcome to Rum Ration, Scott.

    I suggest sending an e-mail, in the first instance, to the Defence Imagery Team at:

    admin@photos.mod.uk

    They will direct you accordingly.

    Probably better to try the Fleet Photographic Unit, you may be able to get the address from the internet somewhere (RN Website?)
    Give a man a fish and he'll feed his family for a day,
    teach a man to fish and he'll sit round on a boat all day drinking beer.

    If you have access there's a large photo section on the MoD defence intranet (covers both services and the crabs).
