I remember that trip, photo and album (my father has my copy) very well........ish! How good is it to see all those faces again.
The trip was to Hamburg '78, and the hooker is there with hair! I think it was then that we flew out to HMS Hermes from RAF Manston in seakings with the gear slung below us on cargo nets. Alas, as luck would have it we lost some of the kit over board. I recall 'Scouse' Rogers trying to claim for an expensive, imaginary ghetto blaster, amongst other things, which were safely concealed in his MSD case, only to be told.... TOUGH.....MSD cases were designed to carry MSD's and nothing else. Nice try Scouse.
The rest of the trip is a bit of a blur, 1st foriegn trip, 17 years of age and to sin city of all places. Any recollections will be gratefully recieved.
It was also the swansong for Band Master Ernie Ward and Drum Major Andy Croft.
