CHRIS Coffey’s recent article on Grange Park School was very interesting as I was there during the war. Mr Stringer taught art and once gave us a Readers’ Digest to pick a picture to draw.
I picked a Sunderland Flying Boat and all the class gathered around me as I drew. Mr Stringer looked up and said “What’s going on here?”
Someone responded “Av a look at this sir!”
He looked at the drawing and said when it’s finished I should print my name in the bottom right hand corner.
He told me I wasn’t taking it home and pinned it on to the blackboard where it remained for nearly 30 years I was told.
