The latest edition of the RFA newsletter ‘Gunline’ has a bit about Mounts Bay’s role in the Olympics that was largely overlooked in all the publicity given to HMS Bulwark: http://www.historicalrfa.org/downloads/Gunline-Sept-2012.pdf
Thanks Anixtu, if you let me know when it is published I will include it in the list in the future
Gunline has had an irregular schedule in the recent past, and dropped from quarterly to biannual, but I think it has now settled into Spring and Autumn editions. The official RN website is still several issues adrift. I only posted the link to this one as I felt the MB Olympic story was of particular interest, otherwise it tends to be rather parochial.
On page 23 of the NAO report on MOD report…..
