"Gusty sailor Faye" back to Iraq

More from Iran Focus: Hostage Faye goes back to Iraq

GUTSY sailor Faye Turney was heading back to her ship off Iraq today just three weeks after she and 14 other Brit hostages were freed by Iran. Sailor pals of brave Faye and her fellow hostages are laying on an emotion-charged welcome for them.The crew have been planning it for days after Faye, 25, revealed: “HMS Cornwall is where I belong and it’s where my friends are.”Leading Seaman Faye and her seven snatched Royal Navy colleagues have ALL agreed to go back into the danger zone following their harrowing ordeal — despite being offered cushier postings.

They will rejoin the Type-22 frigate by helicopter today as it continues its stint in the Gulf.Their brave decision also means they will be once again patrolling in a small inflatable boat near Iranian waters — where Revolutionary Guards seized them with seven Royal Marines.

Faye bid a tearful farewell to husband Adam and three-year-old daughter Molly before flying out of the UK last night with Lieutenant Felix Carman, boat navigator Arthur Batchelor and the other five freed Navy hostages.

They were all given the chance to stay in Britain for further counselling to recover from their ordeal, which included being made to believe they would be executed.

But they shunned it, leaving Navy chiefs hugely impressed by their steely resolve.
