My recollection of East Cornwall is that it was a Freezing Parade Ground, and, more noticeable for me as I had just returned from an 2 years and eight months Commission. Not the HMS Raleigh of my day that I wih to recall, so badly so that I volunteered to transfer to HMCTCRM for the remainder of my Service in HM Band Service.

What is the first song that is played by the band? It's so catchy!

Blackcat competition! Here goes. 1963, big recruitment drive to replace National servicemen. The place was heaving and all you could hear was hobnail boots crunching everywhere. Dining hall couldn’t cope with the numbers and we often left the queue as there was no chance of getting in to eat. Supper was bread and jam which was probably better than the cooked food. Couple of years after this, 50 odd supply officers went to prison for taking bribes to accept inferior rations. We all got fed up ( notice the pun!! ), with being served Australian rabbit. We made a point of hopping away from the servery when it was on the menu, which was often. Another cheap option was lamb’s heart. Not a whole one, just divided in two to make them go further. Bloody half hearted affair if you ask me!! Bet all of us had the experience of doubling around the parade ground in our pyjama’s, in the middle of the night.

There must have been about 40 squads on parade when I passed out in 79.

You all sound like " sproges" . When I went there in October 1953 the barracks was full of new recruits, we all lived in black wooden huts , 20 to a hut, with one " stovepipe" fire, which was never lit, back then the camp was for the sole purpose of the training of the best branch of the service , engine room, stoker's as we were known😅

Not sure, my question was why they were playing eagle squadron for the RN?

They are not as good at drill as the RAF.

That's because they are sailor's of the Royal Navy , the Senior Service their are no parade grounds on ships and submarines also the water below moves. This is the Senior Service formed by Royal Proclamation in 1545, with centuries of history and traditions. Unlike the RAF who have habits. Hence they are always at the front of all parades leading the way,, not bringing up the rear or recently pulling the late Queens coffin on a gun carriage ps there was no RAF when this tradition started at Queen Victoria funeral, the Army and guards regiments are their for marching. We are their to sail around the world and have a good time. All the good girls love a sailor, if you lucky so do the bad ones.

@@Delta-fs8jm trust me marching around is not a high priority in the Royal Navy, I speak from experience having served 22 years in the Royal Navy, i have been through basic training at HMS Ganges, we have a more relaxed approach to this 😀.. I knew my way around a parade when it was occasionally required. I also have 4 drafts to HMS Raleigh so know exactly what is required being an ex Chief Petty Officer
