Forces Reunited Forum Posts involving HMS Hart
"Re. HMS Hartland Point. I am writing my memoirs, and finding it difficult to remember dates for 1960 and 1961.
When did we sail from Chatham for the Far East?
What date did we fly home?
When did we arrive at Gibraltar, Malta, Suez, Aden, Colombo, Singapore. When did we go to Hong Kong, Bahrain, Mombassa, Kobe. etc. Grateful to anyone with any information, however small. Thanks. Steve"
