I was on the mv jolly sprite strange name strange ship, middle of nowhere bought all the beers for the lads woke up in the bar and had a lie in till 8 when I was woken up by having stuff thrown at me in my bunk. Then first job was to clean up the mess from the night and morning. Really pushed the boat out though when we went to Lisbon dry dock and me and another lad I think he was called peter worked by for a while spent most of the time trying to get a good bronze ready for home happy days

23rd July 1961. Royal School of Artillery, Larkhill, on an A1 Survey course. Gave half hour lecture 'on a subject of your choice.' My choice was the recent Mig 21 jet fighter. By the time I finished, half the officers at the School were jammed into the place!

Nothing exciting for me, spent it in Shoreham as 2/m on 'Broadhurst' my watch aboard, as mate was from Brighton, so probably spent it writing love letters to my girl!, must have been lousy letters, she dumped me shortly afterwards!
