Yep - 11 Recruitment on 11 Feb 58 as a JNAM(AE). Made Chief Air Fitter before going to BRNC and subsequently left RN in 1994 as Lieutenant Commander. I trust that you are a member of the HMS GANGES Association?

I was briefly... but sitting around in dinners and bars with a collar and tie on is not my thing now.

Hig, you are the only one old enough to have gone to Bramcote.
