	Hello Johnk, went into your place in the 1950's on the "Eastbourne" when the Sonar wouldn't retract.

	Hi Tramontana, Many thanks the above, take it you refer to Chatham!, have you been back since? much of course changed to say the least! we have some shots from above taken just as the yard closed and that really brings home the changes, more than twenty years ago now. Quiet a blow when the yard closed, along with the Grain refinery, now a container port. Lived her since 1972 so and was a sea cadet in the Pembroke barracks, now a university campus. JohnK
