I would like to invite fellow Nautilus members to visit our new Falklands memorial bench in Pickering Park, Hull.
The bench was unveiled in April this year, around the 42nd anniversary of the start of the Falklands War. It is dedicated to the nine Hull vessels and their crews who supported the Falklands Task Force.
At the unveiling, we were pleased to welcome Falkland Islander Diane Clune, as well as the family of Roy 'Wendy' Gibson, a steward on the ferry Norland, which was requisitioned as a troop carrier for the 2nd Battalion, Parachute Regiment.
We will continue to remember and support our comrades from the Falklands War.

Is my maritime pension performing as well as it should?
Nautilus answers a member's query about the now-closed MNOPF pension scheme.
Could Nautilus have done more for members' injured knees?
The Union has done great work over the years, and I was a liaison officer for a long time, but I feel that one big failure has not getting seafarers compensation for damage to their knees.
Are you being managed well? Please share your experiences in my study
I'm writing to ask fellow Nautilus members to give a few minutes of their time to help with my research.
