Nice photo Norman.I brought the sea cadets to Hartlepool a few years ago.I arranged an action packed day for them using my contacts. First they were shown around Betty Huntbatch our RRNLI lifeboat with 2 of th crew. Then they were given free access to HMS Trincomalee built 1817 still afloat. Then we moved to Coastwatch to monitor all shipping via radar and high tech computers to identify the vessel, what it was carrying and where it was going.

I too tried to give them a hand , posting them on my website requesting recruits, tried arranging meetings with the head, but seemingly I was not important enough qualify for a longer chat after waiting for over one hour at their weekly meeting to speak to their leader, sadly it was their loss and I forgot about it, I still see a few of their officers for a social evening but I never raised the question or interest ever again, maybe my importance was not in Ernest.

Probably 80s or 90s definitely not 60s or 70s.
