250354 Geoffrey Archer "Buck" Taylor Royal Navy HMS Implacable from:Hull My father was an engineer on the ship's boilers but he told me they needed a cook and he volunteered knowing he could help the lads with extra rations even though he couldn't cook. He used to fry Yorkshire Pudding. He lied when he joined up as he could not swim. They guessed he couldn't and the captain told him to prove it. My dad dived over board not too far from the ship and side paddled back in!!! He told me that he had witnessed lots of accidents and crashes of the air craft trying to land on board including personnel helping them land. He was also on the Implacable plus 8 other ships. He died in 2014 Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
