THE PASSING OF LEN DIBB-WESTERN MN
Sorry to read the news that Len has died. He was a veteran of WW2 and some of his experiences can be read on the Bristol Heroes page. I had the pleasure of escorting an MNA party to the Normandy beaches and Len gave a moving speech at Arromanches. Len also featured in The Real Cruel Sea Exibition which travelled the UK, plus his story is on the BBC Peoples War website. He was a credit to the Merchant Navy serving in its Finest Hour.
RIP
Norman

The passing of Captain Hamish Grant
Sad news indeed a fine figurehead for the branch at a time when it needed a calm and firm hand on the wheel to steer it through some very important and busy times in its short history and Hamish provided just that with the support of his wife. He will be missed.
