He said he primarily picked the cruise as it was going to call at Belfast, and he hadn't been back in 80 years. He said it felt "wonderful to be here today"."The RAF wanted to get people into the air force to train for air crews and this was one of the ways of attracting them," he said. “I had no choice in where I got sent.
