One for the Old and Bolds

Here’s one which will get you going.  An old photo of the Comms Section of the Bellona, taken in Sydney en route to the UK  in 1952. Tubby Glass will be easily identified prior to his changing rig. The Signals Officer was Ted Thorne, later to become CNS. Others may be identified by today’s golden oldies for, after all, its 60 years ago!!!  Thank Ron B for the image.
