HMS Gambia

[Roger Bratby]

I am contacting you as I have a puzzle which you might be able to solve.


I have a photo, taken in 1962 of HMS Gambia in Liverpool docks. The photo is dated 4/12/62 and the pennant number is clear.I suspect she was open for public visiting at the time.


However web sources suggest she never left Portsmouth after 1960.


Can you, or any of your contacts, suggest an explanation?


Regards

Hi Roger

I am having problems logging into ProBoards, but it is brisray here. I also write hmsgambia.org/

I have never heard of HMS Gambia leaving Fareham Creek, Portsmouth after she was docked there in 1960 until she was scrapped. Over the years I've learned a lot of the ship and this might be something new. I'll check with some people who might be able to know about this.
