  • The Queen’s Navy – LONDON: We quote, without comment, from an advertisement for the Royal Navy which appeared in The Sunday Times:
  • “And then there’s the morning watch, when perhaps there’s just you and a junior seaman on the bridge and the sleeping ship is entirely in your hands. Apart from the dim glow from the repeater compass and the situation board, the only light is the hint of the Caribbean dawn – and it’s then that you remember why it is that you wanted to be a Naval Officer.
  • “It’s because you don’t want to do what everyone else does.” – page 5

Inflation

To obtain approximate values for money allowing for inflation, times 1972 prices by 11.5; 1973 by 10.5; 1974 by 9; and 1975 by 7.5.

For instance, £1 in 1972 is £11.50 in today’s money.
