Dear Richard,

I thought the attached picture would be of interest to all ex Royal Yachtsmen, taken in 1957, no doubt some faces will be easily recognised while others may not? Capt KA McLean, B/M Roy Morgan, and Drum Major Colin Bowden, were the leaders at the time, other noticable characters include Rod Farrell, Ernie Ward, Taff Evans, Bug/Sgt Hawdon, Geo Emmerson, Jimmy Mann, Ballard, Chivers,(Perc) Willie Bev Watson, John Thorne, Jerry Castleton, Harold Price, Len Spencer, Thompson, and ME, If any left out put it down to the passage of time.
