This documentary has never been bettered. Super TV. Thanks, BBC and the officers, men and their families of this fine ship.

I was sorry to learn Tom Wilkinson died last year but he would have been a ripe old age. He was indeed a fine man, a fatherly figure who earned the respect and affection of the ship's company. I cannot recall now whether he was MAA on Victorious in 63/64 or Forth in 67/69. I was discharged in 69 and was interested to see matelots with longish hair and sideburns. RIP Tom.

The retired CPO seemed a great bloke. Really cared about the men in his charge. I imagine he was an avuncular colleague to many young men aboard who were going to sea for the first time. Presumably he is long since dead.

Assuming you mean FMAA Tom Wilkinson, he died last year in April - funeral attended by a good many ex members of Ark's crew - including Big Wilf

There are good reasons men like him rose to that position.

Thank you very much for posting these. I remember as a teenager watching this series and living it. So much so that I applied to join the Navy. I didn't get it :) Still one of the best fly on the wall documentaries ever. God bless to the Ark Royal sailors.
