I was 19 and served aboard the Eagle when this was filmed. I am now 76 and this documentary brings back happy memories.

I served on the Eagle as a 'baby stoker' 1964 - 1966 only time I got into officer country was whilst working on the Shipwrights party - different world from the Stokers mess!! Happy Days.

@Tony - I would say the majority were ex grammar school with quite few up from the ranks. I was on the Eagle last commission and most-of the officers where part of the team and the Eagle had a totally different atmosphere than the Ark - they should have decommissioned the Ark first

I saw the twin boomed jets but I cannot recall the names of those jets, that was in 1958. The seaman and I still write to each other each day, this is 2020 year.

Officers really dressed up for the dinner and they get quite rowdy. Poor enlisted sailors are like 3rd class passengers on a cruise liner in the olden days. Do officers in modern day Royal Navy still have to dress up for dinner?
