As The Royal British Legion launch this years Poppy Appeal let us not forget our links through our own loco 40106 Atlantic Conveyor. Atlantic Conveyor was a British merchant navy ship, registered in Liverpool, that was requisitioned during the Falklands War. She was hit on 25 May 1982 by two Argentine air-launched AM39 Exocet missiles, killing 12 sailors. Atlantic Conveyor sank whilst under tow on 28 May 1982. Many thanks to Geoff Griffiths for allowing us to use his excellent image of 106 on the SVR this summer against a field of poppies. Lest we Forget
