You are right ... we
did do rifle drill!! i remember the bayonet bit now (we didn't have those in the CCF/ATC, or course). t guess it didn't register as strongly as the sword drill.
Here's us, in a fine variety of mixed rig! Me arrowed, several old faces I can still put names to, and I think I'm right in saying:
1. Lt Bob McQueen (later Capt)
2. Lt Cdr Andrew Richmond ("Owing to a shortage of Fleet Air Arm pilots in the 1950s, four supply officers qualified as fixed-wing pilots; both Brian Brown and Andrew Richmond rose to flag rank in the 1980s")
3. Possibly Sub Lt John Tolhurst (later VAdm)
