Good evening all, I have just joined today. I was on the training ship Vindicatrix in 1958 and a member of the association of Vindi boys.
Does anybody out there know a chap called Richard Andrews, he was a mate at the Vindi [deck dept] and wondered how he got on after leaving the camp all those years ago.
Regards Eric
