Sha Bu Le Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 (edited) My dad was on a convoy escort destroyer Scapa Flow to Murmansk during WWII. Said it was absolutely horrendous. U-Boats, bombers and the weather all conspiring to sink the convoys. That programme has got to be a must watch.

moose man Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 JC seems to do a lot of good work for Help for Heroes , top man never mind top gear ..Well worth a watch , the men on the convoys got little recognition for what must have been one of the most dangerous jobs out there . Heroes seems a small word for raw courage .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oilyrag Posted December 28, 2013 Report Share Posted December 28, 2013 Thought his documentary on the raid on st nazaire was fantastic. Looking forward to this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
