Scrap Iron Flotilla

Bluey Lawless, local military and naval historian, Vietnam Veteran,  and long time resident of Briagolong will be giving an engaging talk on the Scrap iron Flotilla at the Bond Street Event Centre at 7:00 pm on the 29th of October.

The Scrap Iron Flotilla was an Australian destroyer group that operated in the Mediterranean and Pacific during World War II. The name was given the group by Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels.[1]

 The flotilla consisted of five Royal Australian Navy (RAN) destroyers. The five ships of the flotilla had been Royal Navy ships that had been built and served during the First World War and transferred to the RAN in the 1930s.  Bluey will cover the exploits and fates of these ships on the night.
