Arfur now there is a memory kindled. I was on Moray Sea School Course 112, Mid Aug-Mid Sep 1961. I had knocked off Lower VIth a fortnight early for my Flying Scholarship at Sywell (on my way shortly for the LAA Rally there), had a week at home and set off to Scotland. Returned to school a fortnight into the term and felt about 3 years older than everyone else! Our course was affected by the tag end of a hurricane hat hit the west coast of Scotland so abut 2 days of our course was spent helping clear up the damage. Loved sailing the cutters and "Spewey Louis", not so much the X-country on the beach and through the forest, and the bone-shaker bikes we rode to the Cairngorms and back! I was so fit that on return after the usual Wednesday X-Country at school I nearly got selected for the school team. Fortunately an engagement with the school pipe band took priority! Happy memories - long time ago now. I recall the staff as a pretty odd bunch, led by a retired Guards major.
