I was also there in November '63. Every class posed for the same photo. Never got a copy of ours.

Hey Prognog,
Are you in this photo?, if so I can send you a copy of it and if not are you from Wigan?. I would like to hear from you.

Hi Robert,

Sorry I don't recognise your name. Where are you from? Can you name some of these lads?

I'm trying to trace 2 lads that I knew in the Royal Navy in the late 60's/ early 70's. The first lads name was Hill (I don't know his first name, could be Peter). The second lad was Kevin Hoey. they both came from the Leigh/Golborne area I think. We served on HMS Danae together in 1969 to 1970. Can anybody help!

Mick, I seem to remember those names but that's about it. have tried posting under 'People'.

Cheers.
