Finch joined as an apprentice in 1928 and in 1939 was on the newly completed Belfast. He served with her prize crews on the Northern Patrol and stood by her while repairing from mine damage until January 1942 when he moved to Excellent for diving experiments. This was followed by a brief spell with Maidstone at Gibraltar then appointment as Warrant Engineer on King George V in 1943, then in the Mediterranean. The following year he transferred to the FAA. A rather stiff account of a little remarked area. |
