Brian Victor Long (Longbotham) BEM
Very sadly I post this for a long standing Navy shipmate. Brian and I were in "L" School together and had many memorable times ashore during our Naval careers. He will be sadly missed by many shipmates.
I pass on condolences on behalf of all ex Voyager shipmates and Navy mates to his family and friends and wish him calm seas and fair winds on this his final voyage.
