HMS Albion
This has to be HMS Albion. HMS Bulwark carried Wessex Whirlwind HAS 7 helicopters,flown and maintained by 848 Naval Air Squadron. The helicopters shown are Westland Wessex HU.5 helicopters. When HMS Albion came out to "singers" in 1962, she had on board Wessex choppers operated by 845 NAS. The changeover was carried out in Mombasa and coincided with the assault on Limbang, meaning that we had to fly to Labuan* on an RAF aircraft.
*The airfield at Brunel was not big enough.

I know exactly where this was taken: it is along the narrow street of Eaat Cliff by Dover Eastern Docks. The other photo shows the front of the same hotel on Marine Parade.[img][/img]

Jack Ashman
Jack was No.1 Diamond and, as you point out, Pete, the King's Badge recipient of 733 Squad. He also received the Commando Medal.I was a member of 733 and am still in touch with Jack. He became Chief Constable of Northumbria (I think) police, after having to leave the Corps prematurely due to hearing loss - a PWs common problem in those days before decent ear defenders. The badge on the left arm of the L/Cpl fourth from the left is commonly referred to as a PW3 qualification. A former colleague of mine in 45 Recce had that SQ and told me that it was a sniper course downgraded qualification - failure on some part of the course but fairly minimal. The sniper badge has crossed rifles, but closer together, with the letter "S" above.I don't recognise Jack in that picture.
