I would like to contact AB Geoff Barker, who was on HMS Hermes around 1967 when she paid a visit to
Mombasa, Kenya. Can you help?

Thanks,
Sandi Consadine

Good morning to you,

I was just scanning the web for info on the HMS Hermes, when your site popped up, the shot of the HMS Hermes sailing into Montreal in 1975, bought back some wonderful memories, I was there. I was serving with the Royal Marine Ships Detachment as a crewman on the H1 LCVP, 1975-1976 (4K4 Mess deck).

That deployment was very memorable because of all the ‘great runs ashore’ and the great bunch of guys that were in the detachment at the time. Prince Charles was onboard throughout the 4 month deployment and I had the opportunity to go on a diving banyan with him and others whilst the ship was in Curacao. Wonderful days…I still miss them.

Best regards,

I would like to know if you have any information on HMS Hermes as I was christened on it.
I have been told that the names appeared on the ships bell. If this is so was the bell kept and put into a museum, before the ship was sold?

Many thanks,
