Engine oil use?
Nurse Julie:
That's better, not like the Torrey Canyon now then. Enjoy.
SteveD CB500K0:
Not me. We watched it on our old black and white TV.
The RAF bombed it to bits to try and burn off the oil. I think they only helped spread it though.

You are opening up an old wound Steve and Julie,
The RAF used the Buccaneer - the plane I was involved with, to bomb the ship - about the first time it had been used in anger since it was put into service and guess what? IT MISSED! :)🤬

Bryanj:
Yup, several times as i remember!!!
TrickyMicky:
Re. The Torrey Canyon incident, if my fading memory serves me correctly, the RAF actually used Napalm to burn off the spilt oil, which caused a hell of an outcry because everybody was under the impression that we did not possess this weapon.
