Many thanks are again due to the Castle Class Corvette (Frigate) Association's Norman Goodwin for forwarding me a scan of an invitation to the PO's Mess for dinner and darts, which was posted to him by Colin Warwick (Rushen Castle's first commanding officer) shortly before he died.
At last I have the names of at least some of the CPO's/PO's, as they have signed the invitation.
The invitation is attached to this article in Adobe pdf format (click on the link below). Remember that with a pdf document you can zoom in as much as you like, so you should be able to read all the signatures very easily.
I think the names are as follows, but if you disagree please let me know:
R.J. Turner - SPO
A.F. Gill - SPO
R.W. Parsons - SPO
W. Woolfenden - SPO
W. Layton - SPO
F. Dowey - PO
J.?. Linson - POTel
P. Collins (?) - PO
A. Heathcote - Hs/a
?. Palferman - PO
H.E.Mann - A/CPO
D.B.Sullivan - SPO
J. Nattress - Canteen Manager
