Memories from Capt.R.Cooper who was at the 1969 Review: "Sadly it rained all day and no wind so we did not get any proper record of the standard as it never flew clear. Captain David was determined to get a photo of this (he was a keen photographer) so rather cheekily we held on to it for some weeks. On a suitable day later at sea we had to arrange to hoist the standard again and rig limited dressing lines leading away from the mast to mimic the occasion - and David was then a happy Capt!"
