HISTORY
Thursday 3rd June 1937
It was reported that work on the building of the
Aston Villa had also been halted because of a delay in the delivery of
the boilers for the vessel. This was also due to the pressure of work on
armaments for the nation.
Wednesday 9th June 193
The name Aston Villa was secured today for the
vessel being built in yard number 1029 at Smiths dock, Middlesbrough.
Tuesday 15th June 1937
The fishing number GY428 was allocated to the
Aston Villa.
Friday 3rd September 1937
After completing a successful trial trip, the
Aston Villa proceeded on to Grimsby.
Saturday 4th September 1937
The Aston Villa was delivered from the builders
yard this morning at 0435hrs and hit the middle pier as she entered the
dock. Damage to the pier was set at £3 16s 6d.

Thomson, Chief Petty
Officer, from Hull. In the crew image above he is in the second row, on
the right wearing the scarf,
behind the crewman with the hood. He died in
1960 |
Tuesday 7th September 1937
The new trawler sailed on her maiden voyage to
Bear Island under the command of Skipper W. Mogg.
September 1939
The Admiralty requisitioned the Aston Villa
where she served as an anti-submarine vessel FY261.
Thursday 23rd November 1939
Arriving at Blyth for her On-Survey, the Aston
Villa had her hull examined which was found to be in good condition as
were her boilers. The survey report, however, showed 39 items that had
to be examined and/or refitted. A satisfied engineer finally stamped the
Aston Villa as cleared on Saturday 23rd February 1940.

HMT Aston Villa was heavily damaged on 30 April
1940 by German dive bombers in Kroken Bay near Namsos, Norway. Scuttled
on 3 May 1940.
|
|
In the London Gazette dated 16 August 1940 the award of the
Conspicuous Gallantry Medal to: Stoker 1st Class Joseph Henry
Dyer, LT/KX 101710 HMT Aston Villa. |
 |
H.M.T. Aston Villa became part of the 16th A/S
Striking Force. She was eventually lost in the Namsen Fjord immediately
prior to the evacuation of Namsos on the 2-3 May 1940.
HMT Aston Villa was on patrol at Ornskaget on
the morning of Monday 29th April. She came under fire at 0700 and at
1300 was examined alongside the wharf behind Hoo Island where it was
found that most of her castings in the engine room had been fractured by
near misses. Commander Congreve was busy, with the assistance of a group
of Norwegians, in disguising the Aston Villa with fir trees.
|
On 30th April a call was made by HMT Aston Villa
to the Arab to close and assist her. An inspection was undertaken of a
number of vessels by Commander Congreve, including the Janus, the Gaul
and the St Goran. A message was sent to Admiral CS20 stating that both
the Gaul and the Aston Villa were disabled.
|
 |
|
On Wednesday 1st May, Commander Congreve and his
crew from HMT Aston Villa had changed over to the Angle in order to give
the latter a rest. At 0530 HMT Aston Villa made fast around 100 yards
south of the Arab. Continuous bombing and machine-gunning by high and
dive bombers came over in flights of 6, 9 and 12 planes. At 1200 bombs
were dropping all around and a conference was called for 1600 with the
Captains of the Gaul and HMT Aston Villa. At 1700 the Aston Villa was
set on fire by a direct hit from a dive bomber. Luckily, only a few of
her crew were on board. At 2000 HMT Aston Villa was still on fire. It
was considered that her magazine might blow up and damage the Arab.
Permission was requested from Commander Congreve to board her but the
answer was, “Keep away, it is too dangerous.” Shortly after this
communication, HMT Aston Villa blew up.
On Thursday 2nd May at 0200 the surviving crew
of the Aston Villa transferred to HMS Griffin. Shortly afterwards, HMT
Aston Villa sank.
The precise location of the Aston Villa is well
recorded. In the mid 1950s the bell from the trawler was raised by a
team of private divers from the Namsos area and there it remained in
private ownership until May 2001. This bell was then presented to the
town of Namsos and is now being displayed in the Namsos Cultural house.
