I’m guessing this was taking in the school year 1957-1958 because I can’t see any of my classmates.

Yes it was 57/58 school year, when I was in the upper VIth – 7th from the right, 3rd row up in the photo. The faces along the row are amazingly familiar after all this time, but sadly I can recall the names of only a handful of pupils and staff. Maybe some of those will identify themselves??

In case you missed me, big brother, I am there too three rows behind Rodney Stone (he of the ‘Rodney Rations’) and four to the left. I must have been in the 4th form, a few familiar faces there. John Francis with his familiar frown, Chris Wellings, John Lee, Roger Morgan and that’s about all I can recall.

4th row up and 16 from the left: I would never recognise myself! I left Sussex in 1958 to join the RAF at Cranwell. It was not a very good choice and only 56 cadets joined and even fewer graduated, 16 as pilots. By the time I retired there were few left. Roger Green joined soon after me, qualified as a Navigator. I shall probably cease flying next year, with about 7,500 flying hours. It has not been boring! I have homes in Dorset and Portugal I. am impressed by Michael Bizzey’s memory!
