Fascinating to see the painting of the Palladium, as Ordinary Seaman, D/JX 540875,Lindop , John , training at HMS Glendower , I was certainly in that queue with Aileen Hughes who lived in Nefyn.
Those were the days ?
The Duke Of Edinburgh was stationed there,also an RAF training camp at Penyberth Penrhos, which was even nearer to town. All these servicemen & women meant excellent business for the 2 cinemas in town.
Wow! What a fabulous painting. I must confess I didn’t know about HMS Glendower – although, of course,I knew Butlins.
I wonder who owns this painting now? It’s marvellous; a real collectors item – and so evocative of the times. Thanks so much for posting it Eric.
