	HMS Ganges Royal Navy Association - Notice Board/July 2003
		I am at present putting the final touches to the HMS Llandaff 3rd Reunion to be held in our home town of Llandaff, Cardiff on October 10th and the main evening being Saturday the 11th October 2003.
		He is currently in Ipswich Hospital and spoke of his time at HMS Ganges during a visit to him the other the day.
		I have to state that I am deeply saddened that due to the ongoing `pantomime` over the venue of a reunion, the Association is brought to the position it now finds itself, which I see as causing irreparable damage to its credibility within the ex naval, and indeed the active naval world.

	Llandaff
		I left HMS Llandaff in the May, which was just before she was due to visit Dan Helder in Holland, and a couple of months before Prince Charles’ investiture at Canarvon Castle, Wales.
		Although it is known that HMS Llandaff was sold to the Bangladesh Navy and renamed Umar Farooq, the ending is not clear.
		However, in 1998 I was talking on the telephone to Mike Fielding (ex-Policeman turned Private Detective), and he said that Llandaff had been sunk into the sand at the end of Dacca runway and the 965 radar was being used as part of the Ground Control Approach.

	[No title]
		HMS Fife was shipshape and Bristol fashion that day and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, especially as I'm ex-US Navy and a destroyerman for life.
		Served on HMS Fife (D20) March 1982-85, I remember being crash drafted to the Fife (Banana Boat) from a cushy job at PCG in HMS Vernon at the start of the Falklands only to find she was still in refit.
		There was a good documentry series here on HMS Brilliant and a run she made through the Med probably back in the late 80's early 90's It is sad to realise the old ships are either scrap or sold to third world navies especially the leanders and the County Class.
