My Uncle went out there after WW2. He had been on the Couragious aircraft carrier that was torpedoed in 1939 and sunk. two thirds of the crew were lost but he got picked out of the water. Joined as his first ship and just 3 weeks service. After Canada, he moved to California to work in electronics and died at an old age. I did see him once in about 1964 when visiting UK. He was a little rogue as a child in Moretonhampstead. Anything that went wrong, it was Reg Luxton that did it. Nicknamed Lucky. There are some good photos of Couragious sinking if you do a search. I think it was the first ship sunk during the phoney war period up near Scotland
