Shotley Mags: Easter '62 - Summer '65: Anyone here in them?

I recently had the good fortune to buy a set of 9 Shotley Magazines (HMS Ganges) from eBay, all of which are in mint condition.

The Ganges Mags arrived this morning. I have got the following editions:-

1962 - Easter, Summer & Christmas
1963 - Easter & Christmas
1964 - Summer & Christmas
1965 - Easter & Summer

Plus the Parents' Day Programme for 26 June 1965 & a few other odds and sods.

Does anyone here appear in any of them, to their knowledge?

I've Just spotted Nutty in the Easter 1962 Magazine (p27) with his memorable haircut.

I also have a duplicate Christmas 1964 edition....

 

Excuse me but I also get a honourable mention on page 53 of Spring or Summer 62 Mag (I only have a copy of the page) for passing my ETLR 2nd name 2nd column.

Nutty

 

Oh, I didn't look there... just in the bit headed Drake...

You're right though: Summer '62, p53:

On p.29 of the same Mag it reads:-

In the Easter 1962 Mag, on p.27, the spiel about 39 Mess reads as follows:-

There! Satisfied?

Hi AAC,

I was there during April 62 to March 63 - can't remember if I would be in any one of them though, but you're welcome to seek me out !!
My Recruitment was #49, and I was in Grenville 23 Mess, Instructors/Badge Juniors names I cannot recall at this time (probably didn't like 'em so forgot 'em when I left)
Would be interested in seeing the piccies on the site also.

:smile:

The first picture is the one AAC refers to printed in the G Mag. This is a copy of the original Drake Div Sail Racing Cutter Crew.

HMS Ganges style single accomodation and it had to look like this every time we left it.

Piccies to follow.

 

And now the phots...

Sorry for their quality but this is how they appear in the printed magazines. I have copied them with a dedicated 50mm Macro lens for the best quality I can obtain.

As requested by Ken, here is a piccy and the opening page of the Exmouth Division's contribution, from the Easter 1963 edition of the Magazine. It only has two pages from Exmouth Division.
