The Vindicatrix. 1956 training ship off river severn

Remember that winter.
We were in Durban for Christmas when we heard about the snow.
Got back to UK four weeks later and on the train for London the snow got deeper as we travelled .
Sailed out a week later, got back mid March and it was still there.

You would have just missed my dad Jimmy Buchan from Kirkcaldy, I think he would have been in the next intake - he was certainly there in June 1945.
