• Name	JENKIN Penelope Mary
  Born	21 Jan 1949
  Gender	Female
  Notes	In March 1954, the JENKIN family of William Leonard, Freda Mary 'Pixie' and their daughter Penelope Mary were caught up in a near tragedy on the Mediterranean Sea. They were travelling home from Singapore on the 'Empire Windrush' (a vessel of some notoriety) when there was an explosion in the engine room which eventually caused the ship to sink. Penelope had to be dropped into the water between a lifeboat and an oil tanker which had come to the rescue. She was safely pulled out of the water and the family was taken to Algiers where they were met by Lady Mountbatten who was handing out food and clothing to the rescued. The Royal Navy aircraft carrier 'Triumph' took them on to Gibraltar.
