RFA Robert Dundas
RFA Robert Dundas
(dismantled)
The Royal Fleet Auxiliary ship Robert Dundas was a coastal storage tanker owned by the Royal Navy; it was launched in 1938 and sailed in a number of convoys during the Second World War. After the war it continued to be used for cargo transportation until it was finally decommmissioned in 1971. On 3rd June 1972 the ship made its final journey to Grays, Essex for demolition by T.W. Ward Ltd, with the Doctor Who crew filming on the ship for the preceeding two days. It was finally broken up in March 1973.
Unfortunately this means we'll never have any new location photos for the ship!
