mover Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi all I'm writting this from my van in Denia Spain,Camping Los pinos,WI FI connected for 2 euros a week, what a bargain, its only 5 euros a month.Im trying to catch the attention of Brian from Hornsea who I met in Spain as he is an ex Vindi boy like myself {Vindi boys were trained at the National sa Training school VINDICATRIX for entry into the Merchant Navy in the days when England had a proper Merchant Navy }Any way it was good to talk over old Vindi times and I was wondering how many Vindi boys are now Motorhomers.The weather in Spain has been fantastic for the last two months in the Valencia area .shorts and T shirts during the day ,chilly in the evenings ,but the last two days we have had heavy rain ,but it is gone now and things are getting back to normal. *-) *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mansell Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hi Malcolm, hope you and Kath are fine. Good to see you are in Los Pinos and it sounds as things are going well. It says in your e-mail you are trying to catch my attention - do you want something specific? If you want something specific I will text you my e-mail address. Got the fridge fixed finally, would you believe it just wanted a service and the right jet, wrong one being fitted. Would you believe that after Hymer UK had it for 3 days??? The wish list nearly complete now; satellite on the top, 2KW inverter inside; Val has got new washer and spinner!!! and we are about ready to go again but that won't be until April. All the best - Barrie and Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messerschmitt owner Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 I had an interesting day at Sharpness a few years back when Commodore Warwick unveiled the memorial down there. Like ships a lot - and my wife lectures aboard cruise ships on maritime history - also have about 20,000 antique postcards of ships at home including some of the Vindi and the national sea school at Sharpness.

mover Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 Hi Messersmicht owner,well I think that qualifies you as an honary VINDI BOY,you will be sent your berret and shoulder flashes in due time BUT you will be required to have your Smallpox jabs and regulation scalping first,best regards Malc.
