anteros_lmcRemember I mentioned that we bumped into some real Latin American navyboys at the Cochrane exhibition in Edinburgh last weekend? That would have been the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of Chile himself, Admiral Edmundo Gonzalez. And here he is with the exhibition's senior fanboy curator, Dr Start Allan.
You can read Allan's blog post about the visit here: An admirable afternoon - the Navy of Chile visit Admiral Cochrane, The Real Master and Commander.
* I'll stop with the Cochrane spam soon, I promise ;)

Saturday 26 November was a busy day in the life of the exhibition Admiral Cochrane, The Real Master and Commander, and for its lead curator. In the afternoon our Saturday Showcase ‘Cochrane: Fact and Fiction’ event saw myself and Cochrane biographer Dr David Cordingly offering some observations on the career of Lord Cochrane, and its depiction in historical and fictional writing. I somehow knew reading all these Aubrey-Maturin and Hornblower books would come in useful one day.

But he would look very nice in an RN uniform. :D
