If Bren's going to play, so will I.
I remember in the early/mid 50s going to Southsea with my parents several times and doing boat trips to Southampton Docks. On one occasion there were several flying boats (Solents or Sandringhams?) moored at what I now know to be Hythe, and on another ('56) there was a boat moored next to the QE1. On all occasions, the Princess boats at Calshot were clearly visible.
