That is absolutely wonderful, and I have kept it. Where did you find it?

This was doing the Royal Navy 'circuit' at the time of the 200th Anniversary
of the Battle of Trafalgar in 2005.

Rather interesting that it should come up now as I have an article published
in the "Civil Service Pensioner" the Quarterly magazine of the Civil Service
Pensioners Alliance entitled ""Admiral Lord Nelson fought the Battle of
Trafalgar without Electricity"" which explains briefly the history of the
Electrical Branch in the Royal Navy.

I wonder what Nelson would have said of today's Royal Navy!!!!!
