Radio Room: P&O Liner ss Maloja/GFBD built in 1923. An interesting quote from Philip Noel “In  September 1939 the P&O liner Maloja was converted to an armed merchant cruiser in Bombay. As part of the conversion the after dummy funnel was removed, the radio room demolished and a new W/T office set up in the space under the bridge. The photo was taken after the conversion. She commissioned as HMS Maloja on 24th November 1939 with me as one of three watchkeepers. We sailed from Bombay on 10th December and by the end of February found ourselves on patrol between the Faeroes and Iceland, not a pleasant area”.

Whilst having a bit of a tidy up in my study I came across this Marconi recruiting brochure, which I had completely forgotten about. Someone in the ROA must have given it to me in the past but I have forgotten whom. I did not work for Marconi and have never seen this brochure before. It seems to be targeted at school leavers rather than people who are already at Radio College, hence the school cap. I am going to post another five photos from the brochure. It does not give a printing date but looking at the kit and the style of clothes people were wearing I would guess mid 50’s. A Marconi expert might pin it down closer.

  3. Very disappointed to see Mr Valentine is not wearing a shirt. Obviously Bibby Line standards were slipping by this time and not the Rig Of the Day that one would expect from a future ROA Web Team member. Certainly would not have happened in the companies I worked for.
