Re: HMS Perim HMS Tyne HMS Holderness HMS Thracian

My grandfather, Harry Young, also served on Holderness. He'd been in RN in the 30s so I suspect will have been older than many of the younger Hostilities Only seamen who made up much of the crew. My grandfather was on the AA gun that shot down a Junkers 88 in the Thames Estuary in 1941 - recall seeing the North West London new article from the period many years later.

I'm a screenwriter and thinking of using some of what I know about my grandfather's life and naval service as basis for a play. Would be interested to hear any anecdotes relating to the ship.
