Len Moscrop and Cathy Stephenson Kalafrana 19731026 viewsThis was taken in July 1973 at the Sgt's mess part of Kalafrana beach club. Amazing that there were Officers' , Sgts' and other ranks' beaches.

Apparently the girls were chased back to the ship in Greece because of their attire (hot pants and mini skirts). The ship was scrapped in the 1980s but I guess memories live on! 2 commentsfifla197311/20/14 at 09:42fifla1973: Oh sorry about that I always thought it was called...
