I remember one day in 1960 & I was 15 yrs old , my dad was by now a schoolteacher & I was allowed to go on his schools annual summer camp. The camp on this year was Freshwater on the IOW . Not only did I get to see a cocooned up Princess flying boat , but also HMS Vanguard ( the last British battle ship) being towed up the Solent , on its way to Scotland , to be broken up .
