My late uncle Jim Gardner was from Sale in Manchester and an officer in the Royal Navy WW2. When the aircraft carrier 'HMS Victorious'was being built at Walker Naval Yard Jim was billetted with my Aunty Peggy a young Widow with a child in Walker. Being a good looking Dunn girl Jim fell for her & arranged for her & her son William (Davis) to move near his parents in Sale.
After War was over they married & spent the rest of their lives in Sale.
If any of our shipyard experts have a photo of HMS Victorious at Walker I'd love a copy for their youngest surviving son, Manchester born Victor named after HMS Victorious..
PS HMS Victorious played a part in the 'Sinking of the Bismark'. It's 'Swordfish' planes delivered a torpedo hit that slowed it down, delaying its escape & allowing HMS Ark Royal's aircraft to finish it off
