Re: Gravesend Sea School
Hi everyone I was wondering if anyone remembers B.T.S. Formidable at Portishead. All the others seem to be
mentioned. The school was turned into a very nice little village.
I was there in the late 40s. All the best to you all, and have a great Christmas and New Year. Frank Greenfield.

Re: Gravesend Sea School
I was at Gravesend Dec 1956 to Jan 1957 in the Catering Dept. My Dis Book Number is R668311. Capt McKellar was the head of the school. I ended up as his steward and had to clean his house every day. After leaving I went with T & J Harrison until I left in 1971 as Chief Steward
