 The clock tower and transport yard, the crypto classrooms were in there looks like Brian Heaton coming out of the tailor’s shop. |
 I think a silver birch, dressed in snow in the grounds of Mercury, a bad winter. |
 Captains rounds, I think it was about 15 or over in a mess, normally one class. Note the small brown cases and the Gas masks, sorry Respirators (got to get it right) |
 Caught in the snow on the way to Mercury one year, it took from 7:30 in the morning to 3pm when trying to get through the back way. When arriving in Mercury told to go back home – did not take quite as long to get back. |
 And what have we hear then – never used white gloves in Mercury, not like some Captains. |

 Do not think you are getting to Mercury this way POTS. |
 Who had to clean these with a large red rubber and a chunk of canvas on a piece of wood? |
 From the left, classroom/storage, church, pay office and in the distance, classrooms and the cinema with the pig farm behind it and opposite was the guard room. |

 In the early 1970’s. If they took a photo of all the Communication Chiefs now how many would there be, and I wonder how many of these faces are still around? |
