Admiralty "Director" Class paddle tug, probably Director herself.

Director as Faithful had already left for UK several years earlier.

Director and Expert were in Malta at least until summer '67. We lived in Dockyard Terrace and they both moored in Dockyard creek

BTW El Adem was British, the Yanks were at Wheelus.

Landed at El Adem on the way to Cyprus DofE hike 1968. What a dump to be posted to. It had an RAF school too, we picked up 3 lads to take on to Cyprus.

Lovely shots Pref. I hate to read of good ships being sunk but I suppose no-one wanted to buy 25 yr old paddlers.

Well perhaps a better use of them than razor blades. Although paddles may have seemed very antiquated by then, as tugs there were manoeuvrability advantages before Herrs Voith & Schneiderbecame popular.

My uncle would have liked them too - he was on the Isle of Wight paddlers (Briish Rail) and they were NOT manoeuvrable - the two paddles could not move independently and they had to reverse into Portsmouth to berth, quite a feat in bad weather.
