I think this photo speaks for itself. The torpedo is probably being loaded onto HM Submarine L3 as the photo is from the 1928-1929 album of its Commander, W.R. Fell. <Read more ...>

This photo labelled "Peak Tram" is from the 1928-1929 album of Lt-Cdr WR Fell. I think Klaus is right that the three views of Hong Kong by WRF that I uploaded earlier, were taken from the Peak Tram and that this photo belongs in the same sequence during a single visit to the Peak. <Read more ...>

I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to upload "Light Airs" as a Book, as I've recorded the pages as scans and photos when the scanner failed to work. Perhaps David can compress it into a more compact format later. Meanwhile, here goes.... <Read more ...>
"Light Airs" in seven volumes was the journal of the 4th Submarine Flotilla. The submarines seem to have each taken it in turns to compile a volume of the journal. Printed by Kelly & Walsh Ltd., Hong Kong, Vol. VI was compiled by members of the crew of HM Submarine L3. The editor was R.G. Liveing and the pages I shall be uploading is from the copy kept by the commanding officer, Lt.-Cdr. W. R. Fell. The journal gives a flavour of life on a submarine and is a nice example of 1920s humour - submariner humour.

This is a formal photograph of the entire crew of HM Submarine L3 less five hands, as the title says. Lt-Cdr William Fell is seated in the centre. I'm afraid I can't identify anyone else, but Lt Gordon-Duff Lt Lonsdale and Chief Engineer Waterson will be there. I will upload other informal photos of them. This photo is from the 1928-1929 album of William Richmond Fell. <Read more ...>
