HMS Avenger and Prince Andrew 1982

The Falklands war is over. Thankfully we've been spared the jingoistic tabloid headlines back in the UK as it's very small beer here, making only page 14 of the Khaleej Times. However, the men fighting the war and the politicians making it are two very different criteria.

HMS Avenger is in town as part of a post-victory PR tour. HMS Avenger is a naval frigate, rather more famous for one of it's serving officers: Prince Andrew. We are asked if we'll take some of the NCO's out for the evening. which we are delighted to do. We take them to the Nakheel Club then on to a nightclub. I dance with all of them and we finally get home around 6am.
