'football' photo
hi Peter,
I like the photo in the football gear, it's just what we want. I'll have to have another scrabble round in my photo box to see if I can find another one!

what was eo's.................?
His Alsatian, I think.
I don't remember ever getting the benefit of that, but I once got a slice across the back of the knuckles with a steel ruler from EO. I bore the welt for weeks. Unfortunately, it didn't interfere with my writing ability, so I couldn't get off work.
No stress counselling, no child protection officers, no outcry, ... but no, I can't look back with nostalgia on that particular incident. Perhaps it went towards making me the man I am today - in which case, EO has a lot to answer for ....
Cheers,
Chris

Model Aircraft
I was at PS from 1959 - 62 if I remember correctly! We use to fly control line model aircraft on the playing field until the neighbours complained (we then flew with Winchester Model Aircraft Society on the Arbour until those neighbours complained!!). The only person I can remember was Peter Evans aka "Wong" (apparently because he once stowed away on an aircraft in an attempt to escape the rigours of School House and join his parents in Hong Kong) but there were others who used to build and run up engines in "the boot shed". I was a day boy living in Old Kennels Lane, I seem to remember a "very old" boy lived up at Olivers Battery who flew at school but it's all a bit vague - anyone else remember?

Hi, everyone
Thanks for starting this, Jim - it's just what's needed for nostalgia addicts like me.
If you don't know about it already, visit the PSC home page at http://www.psc.ac.uk/
