  Year: 1964 The Main household
Watching my uncle making a lobster creel wow! never seen anything like it. The house was a large detached white house over looking Hopeman Harbour I think!.
My mother and sister and brothers lived there throughout their childhood. My mother married Norman whom at the time of their meeting was in the Fleet Air Arm in Lossiemouth. Following their marriage they came down to Portsmouth in 1952 I think and we have lived here in Gosport ever since.
During my childhood we visited the family a few times in Hopeman and my mother still has links with her nieces and nephews Margaret, Ethel and Jimmy. I just remember the hill and the harbour where my uncle David owned the Christine and we still have some photographs. Hopefully one day we will meet up again, you never know.

A memory of Elgin, Morayshire

I remember growing up in Elgin (Bishopmill). All my family have passed on now, but I still visit as often as I can, each time I go there I feel a bolt of pride as I walk down the High Street, happy days.

  RAF Dalcross
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

This Airport was, in 1951/52 when I was there, RAF Dalcross. It was here that I did my advanced flying training on Airspeed Oxfords and won my "wings".
Two members of our course were killed while flying from here. Many happy evenings were spent at the bar in the Caledonian Hotel in Inverness, and I spent Hogmenay 1952 enjoying the hospitality of many kind Scots.

  Year: 2005 Searching
A memory of Huntworth, Somerset

I knew my grandfather and grandmother came from the area and we past through onto the town where they lived last - Strichen which was not too far away from New Pitsligo. I treasured the stillness and history of the area. Happy memories. Still searching for family from here Watt and Willox.
