I see the PWSTS crew in the sunken garden every year at Tower Hill and usually a few in Wetherspoons the night before. Never got to have a drink with them though.

Sea Training Schools.
I sailed with a Kiwi called Roy Archer, he was a PWSTS boy we were pretty close mates did a couple of trips together. He went home on a delivery run around 66-67. Do any of you recall him? He was there around 62-63? I tried to contact him via PWSTS old boys site but no response. Should you read this Roy send me a private e-mail. Are you still playing those bag pipes? Cheers Richard
