Hi All
I joined TS Dolphin early 1959 I cant remember when the course actually started (Catering) but I think prob january..I am only certain that I was there Feb 1959 mbecause that was when Buddy Holly died in Plane Crash.
I joined with a friend of mine Steve Netley. At finish of course we were both sent to the British Tanker
"British Aviator" Persian Gulf via Suez then returned south about
Boy was that a long time ago.. (I was 17 I am now 67)I had forgotten the names of some of the instructors until I read them on this forum.
Thanks for bringing back memories long since submerged
I did return a few years later for a second cook and bakers course but really cannot remember exactly when.
How many of you remember going out in the whaler to learn rowing. I didn't mind the rowing but the worst part was when when you had to toss the oars and the freezing cold water come down the oars on to your already numb hands.
