Perisher by Robert Barbour. HMS Orpheus turns sharply to starboard as a Lynx helicopter from the Destroyer HMS Glasgow approaches at low level. Winter weather on the Clyde confirms that it is indeed a Perisher course for potential submarine commanders. The peaks of Arran are snow covered and a biting north westerly whips the Firth in sudden squalls. |
