Colin,
I was born in Portsmouth my father was a submariner and Mother was the 
district midwife in Gosport which kept us next to HMS Dolphin the sub 
base, after my father went MIA in the submarine HMS Orpheus and I came 
back from being an evacuee in Cornwall we moved to what was supposed to 
be a little fishing village on the north east coast Hull (some village)  
to get out of the bombing, out of the frying pan into the fire as only 
one house in ten was left standing at the end of the war, anyway it was 
while living in Hull that we made trips up to York to see the Railway 
museum,the Minster and other sights, I used to be a train spotter in 
those days, after finishing school we returned to Portsmouth and I 
started my apprenticeship in the Dockyard to be followed by BI and the 
rest as they say is history
your picture bought back memory's
