Narration of the photo slide show will be in morse code only. There will be no text displaying the code being heard. This method of learning is by means of subconscious familiarisation.
Stop trying to count the individual dits & dahs, instead listen to the melody of the characters and words. Do not try and read every word of this morse, just be satisfied in reading an occasional word or two. Remember, repeat, repeat, repeat.
The morse is graded; starting at 10wpm and progressing to 12wpm. A touch of realism has been provided by including interference, local oscillator drift, signal strength variation, etc.

These archived photos cover the period early 1950s - late 1960s during the Cold War; they show members of the 1894 (Swaffham) Squadron Air Training Corps.
The majority of the photos have been scanned from reels of 35mm film negatives, having an unusual frame size of 24mm x 25mm. The large format photos have been scanned from various size prints held within the same archive.
Swaffham was close to many military airfields such as Marham, Raynham, North Pickenham, and Watton, so many youngsters in the area became interested in these military activities and realised that by joining the ATC they could participate in some of these activities; show their patriotism to the country, and take their first step towards a career in the RAF.
