Wasn`t Thorney originally passed to the Navy? I distinctly remember some matelots at the gate when I visited the sailing club once....and being introduced to the "Senior Naval Officer Thorney Island" at that venue. I also remember some Vietnamese Boat people wandering about at roughly that period. My parents currently live at Chidham, and have a good view of the island across the Nutbourne Bunny where they had at one time a boat moored.
