Invergordon Mutiny

I have not heard of this before.

Sea Your History - The Invergordon Mutiny of 1931

It was good that involved kept their heads and didn't allow this to turn violent, as it very well could have.

Len Wincott left the navy and home for what he thought would be the ideal life in Russia.Unfortunately he suffered under the Soviet system but stuck it out and lived to tell the tale back home.I think he lived to an old age and may have recorded his ordeal in a publication

Andy in West Oz is an unknown quantity at this point
Just read about that in The U-boat Peril. The author, Bob Whinney, was on Rodney at the time.

Jeff,
As I'm currently involved in an Industrial dispute I really enjoyed reading those stories.
I like the On The Knee Mutiny too, as it involves heavy rain and a strike.
Very topical for me at the moment.
