Don Cleavin – Memories of Faslane
The last one was the Walrus. I was on her for two years. She was operated from Faslane in Scotland. I lived in Gosport but the boat’s in Faslane.
We were still doing this six weeks away, two weeks in, and when I came back in, I was in a car all the way down to here.
In the two years I was on her, the boat came to Plymouth to Gosport three times.
Once was for Sea Officers War Course, Army and Air Force Officers to find out what some of these do, one was for Fleet Review and the third one was for Southampton Boat Show.
They had a submarine there to let the people look around. So, three times.
In reality, I didn’t spend that much time in Scotland.
