You've got a 2/3 month tour condensed into 1 hour. It's not real life, it's the telly. .Are tours actually like this one in the current climate or have they just played up a lot of drama for the cameras?
Probably a good explanation but for replenishing at Crete it would have seemed a darn sight easier if Duncan had tied up alongside that RFA. That would have avoided 'em having to txfer dry goods via lorryload a few lorry lengths down the jetty.
Could @alfred_the_great, or anyone similarly current, offer their 'Reasons in Reading', please?
I think they did , after some sort of spill/pumping accident?
You're correct, they did.

That "Union Flag" is the White Ensign, glad to see you were observant enough to get that wrong!Seemed rather shambolic. Too many dressed in elaborate rigs needing Royal Navy and a Union Flag on their expensive bits of kit in case they couldn't remember just who they were or which country they were fighting for. The Commodore with the assistance of the Cox'n with a grand name might have been able to explain had they been able to fight their way through the 270 plus aboard. to find them.
