General,
Coming from a bit of a Royal Navy family, I was so pleased to read in the Bham Post this morning that Randy has had a painting commissioned for our newest ship HMS Daring, showing a naval battle taking place inside Villa Park!
A bit of background for those who didn't read the piece - the Daring is a stealth warship, probably the most advanced in the world right now and commanded by the former skipper of HMS Birmingham. As such it is officially Birmingham's ship, which is why the crew formed the gaurd of honour at the Boro game.
Can you thank Randy - the man oozes class. Birmingham has a long association with the Navy - strange when you consider we are in the middle of the country.
