That’s the aim of the trainees we’ve been filming aboard HMS Northumberland for Seafarers UK, in support of their annual big bash ‘Seafarers Awareness Week’ – which runs from the 20th to the 28th June. In that week, Seafarers UK highlight just how important the sea – and the seafarers who work it – are to Britain. (And the whole world in fact, but the remit’s for the UK!) This year we’re helping with a young people in training film series, and we’ve been helped by the Royal Navy. On board Northumberland, day running out of Plymouth just now, is a group of engineering trainees – expertise always much needed by the RN, but all the more so now with the two new giant carriers coming on stream over the next few years. But that’s not all Northumberland has on her plate right now…
