        Indeed.

        Will dustmasks be provided?

        We must organise this year. I thought being with murph last time would help meet the rest of you. Turned out to be a deterrent.

                      The ONE were out on a day trip on Emer the other day. The bag I brought to work with my stuff in had more sea time than all those old codgers put together.

                        Was it a 'Gommel' bag?

                          No, just an old issued one. Handy for the lunch.

                            Pretty Poor turnout down there today, due to the truly awful weather. However all those we spoke to were most friendly and informative, and we took one or 2 photos of some of the newer toys. We'll upload them later.

                            It was great meeting you Marloy, though I got sidelined by another former IMO member.

                                I have them uploading as I speak onnce I had resized the first. now avalable follow the link posted




                                Some of the photos are a specific items and willany quetions aksed in relation to any photo posted.

                                Thanks to all I met none of which I will name excpet marlor as he is known here.

                                Made a few historical discoveries possibly still unkown to the NS one of them that i know off more about that latter.

                                I had a great Chat with LT CDR Rynne..nice bloke, but a lot of artifacts destined for the museum were lost.

                                He is spefically looking for photos especially of ships cres , recuit classes and course and events and individuals he is willing to accepta anything on offer. I have offered him my own collection in return for what he has .

                                As soon as I have recieved this I will post tem in gallery for those who may not have ver seen some of these photos.The gunnery bac to day contained various course over the years..all except my own and marloys..
                                interesting enough day if you got access to restricted area, nothing secretive just areas the public you don't see.

                                All the people we spoke to were unlike the last set of guides.. from the guys on the last week of their gummer shoot who showed us the differences in the new Rhinematals to those who just chatted and told us about current conditions to the L/Com Op who went out of his way to be informative

                                To Lt Cdr Rynne who gave me an hour of his time a nd then some,

                                the numbers were low, the displays were limited but well staffed, the weather was awful butthe craic was good and the food was top class.

                                I met an exer who some will have good memories A/Tel Billy 'Biscuits' Boland who remembers a lot of you and has some great yarns.

                                We decided on not the usual photos for achange.
