First went to Whaley in 1963,as a Sea Cadet, to do a course,including firing a Bofors at Frazer Battery. Went back in late 1973, drafted to Boat Section, having done 2 years previously at Daedalus Boat Section,Haslar Creek (Hornet).I remember the Boats Officer at Whale Island---A "Retired Officer",and a miserable sod,but the Chief Sailmaker was a great guy !! Odd sort of draft for an "Airey Fairy",but I wasn't the only one at Excellent---must have been a shortage of suitable Fish-heads ! At least I was a qulified Coxswain,with tickets for SMB, cutter,and whaler, and knew the harbour well !
