Last week Carla told us about her dad's memories of a reindeer on one of the ships he served on during the Second World War.
Annette Kidd who, like Carla, had grown up hearing stories about a ship's reindeer from her dad, Basil. According to Basil, Olga the Reindeer was originally on board his ship HMS London before transferring to HMS Kent which was heading back to Orkney.
Basil, who has actually met and photographed the living breathing Olga talks about how she ended up on the HMS London in the first place.
