She has moved to South Africa way before 84 so I doubt the respective Royal Navy fathers would have known each other. Lois was quite a bit before then, when she (the ship) was commissioned in 1974.

He went down to the Falklands just after the war finished too so was stationed on her for at least a couple of years. I will find out! He specialises in Intelligence so I will get him on the trail of the Bell! Operation Amazon has a nice ring to it, if you'll excuse the pun... What year was Lois Christened?

My dad worked on the Amazon so not quite as impressive, if we were to team up to Take Back the Bell I think Lois would have the rights to it! Wow!

Lois (my wife who was first - her father built the ship), Tom and Georgina. We might need to start a "who was Christened on the Amazon" website :-) That makes 3.
