The Story of Frank Mitchell 1941 to 1946

HMS Cormorant II 11th August 1943 to 23rd September 1943

For a very detailed account of life on Gibraltar and HMS Cormorant in 1942 to 1943 have a look at the memories of Peter Walker at:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/ww2peopleswar/stories/89/a2934489.shtml

Just by looking at the dates it would seem that Frank spent 6 weeks a shore with 886 Squadron (or part of it) at Gibraltar between spells on HMS Attacker. This may have been during the period that HMS Attacker was involved in the attack on Italy at the beginning of September.
