 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. |
