Re: Sea Training school Gravesend
I attended the NSTS Gravesend as a Catering Trainee August/September 1957. A few years back I found a photo of my class with me in it on the net, but have not been able to find it since. I would appreciate any help finding it again!

Re: Sea Training school Gravesend
A lot of the old Gravesend sites have gone unfortunately, so its hard to come by those old Pictures.
There is the Group on Facebook that has a few old Class photos, so you may be lucky if you try there.
Just join Facebook if you allreday have not and Join the Group
Cheers

There is also this one there
