Aerial view of the former HMS Ganges naval training establishment at Shotley Gate, on the peninsula between the Rivers Orwell & Stour. Once home to thousands of naval recruits, the site still shows its red-brick blocks & parade grounds. #HMSGanges #Suffolk #aerial #image #Shotley

A lovely capture of this beautiful barn owl, taken in the Shotley area in Suffolk ~ I have to wonder if she (I think she's a she) uses our old mast see below), to catch her breath or observe for prey? 🤔😁🥰💕 1/3 #BarnOwl #HMSGanges #Suffolk #MasterChefGR 📷Dale Keeble

Looking through some old boxes and found the log book of my dad’s Naval diving. He was on Air and Sea rescue 👍. I’m wondering if by chance there any guys who worked alongside him, I would love to hear any stories👍#Navy #hmsArkroyal #hmsEagle #hmsGanges #hmsDrake #fieldguncrew

In a previous existence & many moons ago (1987), I was at PTC Shotley - formerly #HMSGanges for my initial 14 weeks training Course 5/87. I didn't realise at the time, but a relative had been there as a #RN Boy in the early 1920's... The site is now being redeveloped for housing.

📸 Here's a #throwback to last week when we joined @wavensmere for the mast de-rigging ceremony at #BarrelmansPoint, HMS Ganges. This was a very special day marking both the Grade II listed mast and 46 years since the last parade was held. #ShotleyGate #HMSGanges
