The following five photos were sent to me by FP Norrie Henderson. They were taken during a recent visit to the UK where he managed to include a tour of the school, guided by the very helpful, current head teacher. Thank you, Norrie.


Boys playground.....covered area and open area.
I'm told the occasional Woodbine was smoked in the former, and the toilets have been removed from the latter.


Instruments from the Fort Langley, still mounted on the same wall where the ship's model was displayed. Norrie is trying to find out where the model is now situated.
