This day 1961, 1962, 1964 and 1967

I got the little plastic submarine that came as the free gift in the box of cereal. You filled it with baking powder in the bath so it would rise to the surface. I even wrote to the Admiralty outlining my strategy for the future protection of the Arctic convoys!
 
We were so skint we got x-class subs in our cereal box. I had to make friends with a kid in our class with brown corduroy shorts so his bigger Puff sub could tow mine to the target.
 
Mum found the limpet mine that I attached to the inside of the bath. My first and only attempt to be a "Cockleshell Hero"!
