As yesterday, May 12, marked the 50th anniversary of the "christening" by Admiral Sir Richard Onslow of the then Wrekin Sea Cadets' new headquarters at Donnington, let's do something to float their boat. Here we are with Telford Sea Cadets from Training Ship Wrekin on Trench Pool on August 21, 1975, when they were trying to find a sunken boat. Helping divers Alan Miles and Michael Cunningham to prepare for the search is Terry Norhall. Members of the crew were Philip Henry, Tim Turner, Spencer Dentith, and Russell Storey. And they didn't find the boat.
