Hi Mike, and welcome to the site.
We must have been at Indy at the same time, I left in March '65 - Rodney 103.
You must have been there for the Centenary when the Duke of Edinburgh visited.

Cape Town South Africa etc ...........
RE: I have a photo of us all on the beach at cape town south africa. oh what a lovely time.
YOU MAY KNOW OR WILL DISCOVER THAT YOU CAN UPLOAD THE PIC.
It may assist others attempting similar to find you?
Or could just be saved and displayed as a valuable treasure of the past. Handy also if by chance become lost and you could retrieve from this as a back up. More importantly and if you so wish, could just become part of your involvement here while seeking your old mates.
Welcome on Board how ever you decide to sail.
