Mike Smith reports

Last week my grandchildren came and see me before I went into Papworth Hospital for a few days and nights. As you can see from the above photo they found another use for the Oropesa. They all enjoyed having a ride on it but there is a serious side as well, by going around the sweep gear they learnt what it was all about when it was on a Ton Class Minesweeper and this one in particular was rescued from HMS BRONINGTON Prince Charles ship.
