Sea Cadets at Raven's Ait

John Sweatman

As said elsewhere, the cadets used to go to "Raven's Ait" at Surbiton on the Thames each year. This is the 1967 group. Some of those in full uniform are training team from the island, so not from Newhaven, and the two standing at each end, were I believe, Dutch cadets.

This picture brings back fond memories I'm sure to many former cadets, I myself remember being paired up with the late leading seaman Leonard Lipscombe, as 'Raven's Ait 'as liberty boat crew ( For bringing over visitors and departing cadets etc! ) We maintained these duties for our period of the set 'watches' scheduled over our week at the island, as the whole island was run on a ships routine of watch keeping.
