So, what’s all this about?
Being a Portlander, I was brought up looking out to sea, and into the harbour, at all the grey ships.
Overhead, there were Wessex 5s, Whirlwinds, Sea Kings, Wasps. Sometimes a Lynx, or the odd Buccaneer or Canberra.
All this gave me a lifelong interest into military machines, especially historically.
