Democritus - I too was there, as a Cranwell cadet on the "Navy visit" -in fact I was one of two cadets in HMS Rhyl. The Queen could not see the flotilla because of the fog, and the following day on departure for a week's courtesy visit to Stockholm, one of the frigates sailed through HMS Lion's anchorage, but unfortunately the destroyer was still there, and there was a loud clang and a big hole in Lion. The run ashore in Stockholm was pretty good though. Indeed the lovely Iain A-Rees, sadly no longer with us, who was the other cadet in HMS Rhyl, and I for years after greeted each other "They don't dance like that in Pinner" (where we had both grown up, but had never met before Cranwell, a reference to the very close dancing style of the statuesque Nordic blondes at the various parties.
