Pat, My elder brother joined Sept 70 Raleigh, I joined Oct 8th same year. Where boys turned into men within a week, with the occasional cry for their mum - tough place. My first wage packet was £3.50 old money. HMS Dryad (radar) was my thing, although done stints in Excellent and Vernon.
I remember you saying you were at Portsmouth. Almost bizarre now, I'm there all the time after all these years.
It's not the same, nothing ever is.
