Bob Beacock onboard RFA Pearleaf in 1968.

Bob Beacock and Colin Richardson were transported from Daring by bosun's chair to the Pearleaf to maintain 24 hour watch cover during an exercise, whilst on Beira Patrol. They bunked in the Sick Bay as they were not allowed with the foreign crew or the English officers, though they did chuck a few crates of beer for them to consume, also they were allowed to watch the films in the wardroom. All right for some.......
