I was in Collingwood 34 mess in 1963/4. Sad to look at our mast that I trod first when we were brought over from the annex. Scared whit less going over the devils elbow that first time but we got over that and spent our leisure time clambering about on it. Too old for that stuff now!

July 1971. Rodney 44 mess across from parade ground and the mast. Climbed it that summer. Stood and saluted, held onto the spike like with slightly bended knees. 50 years ago. Best year. Best times. England should be ashamed. But there you go.

Nice, it is amazing how the river reflects the sky so well, mud or water. I checked your video out before doing my own and it gave me some great ideas. Thanks.

I'm welling up here, just seeing the demise of the mast, shocking, should be restored as a national monument to all who started their naval careers there. "Jos" Jones, '63 recruitment, Exmouth 43 Mess.

It is a pity that a mast fund was not set up. I am sure many of the ex Ganges boys would have contributed and possibly the UK Lottery. Sad.

Hi Peter, I am working on a television programme at the moment about George Michael and am interested in possibly licensing some of your footage of the Goring if you are amenable to this - can you contact me at [email protected] and I can talk to you more about this. Regards Derek

I was there Sept 1974 aged 16. Such a sad sight now, and it looks so much smaller. The state of the mast is a national disgrace.

hi Peter, you may have heard that a local comunity group is aiming to buy and restore Shotley Pier - the long straight one opposite Bristol Arms. Do you have any footage of it at all ? cheers Sally
@peteremmons5157 жыл бұрын
Hi Sally, Thank you for your interest, although I don't have any specific footage of the pier I would be happy to take some footage of the pier and surrounding area for you. I fly the drone commercially so would need to put some paperwork in place first, this isn't a big deal and would enable you to use the footage legally with no comeback from the CAA or other authorities. Please send me an email with your contact details to [email protected] and I will give you a call to discuss the project in more detail. regards Peter

Excellent video but very sad at the same time. I was a HMS Ganges boy sailor, joining having just attained the age of 15yrs (Aug 65) I was in Collingwood mess and a JRO. I absolutely loved my time there and cannot think of anything bad ever happening to me or my collegues, worked hard, studied hard and played hard. Everything that is missing in todays world.
