A Royal Navy Reservist has donated his training bounty to the Trowbridge Sea Cadet unit.
Able Seaman James Savory of HMS Flying Fox, the Royal Naval reserve based in Bristol, gave the £250 to Trowbridge Sea Cadet Unit Training Ship (TS) Achilles. The name Achilles dates back to Leander Class Frigates that served during World War Two and specifically in the Battle of the Atlantic, being commemorated by the Royal Navy during the 70th anniversary this year.
AS Savory has been a volunteer adult instructor with TS Achilles since August last year, but is now moving away from the area. His donation will help send a group of Trowbridge cadets to London on a visit to HMS Belfast and other historic sites around the city.
