I found some great navy content on another YT channel today and took these R09 clips.
If you wanted to enjoy the complete Scranbag films and watch some other Royal Navy content, have a look at this channel:

Sir Terence Lewin, mentioned in one of these clips was a family friend. 03:40
My Uncle Ted used to wind his clocks up in the 1960's.
I forced myself upon Admiral Sir Terence Lewin on HMS Ark Royal in 1976 as he walked out of the Ark Royal tv studio.
He had been telling us what our mission was, and I went and told him Uncle Ted was my uncle who used to wind his clocks, in his country house. .
That didn't half cause a fuss as I stood there in my dirty apron asking his entourage to speak to him, he was surrounded by anyone and everyone, including the Joss, Uncle Tom, who wasn't best pleased having a junior cook standing there asking to speak to the Admiral of the Fleet.
Sir Terence was delighted to hear my tale and find out who I was, he told me to send my aunt and uncle his best wishes, it did take him a few minutes to remember what the hell I was on about.
The Joss, Tom, always called me by my first name after that.....
I was supposed to be washing pots on the main galley sink, my chief cook gave me a massive bollocking for leaving my post to go and talk to Sir Terence.
It was a pretty long hike from the main galley in 2D/E down to the tv studio in 7T, by the time I got back to the galley my sink was stacked high with dirty pots.
Rest in Peace Sir Terence, and Tom.
