Responding to a call from Fleet Headquarters at Northwood, NORTHUMBERLAND’s Commanding Officer, Cdr Martin Simpson RN, quickly mustered his command team to consider what assistance could be provided whilst at the same time altering from his navigation track to proceed at best speed to the last known position of the ‘Aviva’, some 160 miles north west of Cape Finesterre.
