I must say that I really didn't recognise the drunken fresh faced youth smiling at me in file# 240 / 312. It came as rather a shck. Was this really me ???
Anyway I still have my Discharge Book so a quick check confirms that I served aboard Tide Austral (with Rex Cooper) btween 10/8/1959 and 8/7/1960.
I vaguely remember Rex and Andy Hunter but mainly the other apprentice engineers that studied with me at Portsmouth; i.e. Geoff Harris, Bill Lane, John Crowther and John Virgo.
Where are they now??

Just found your website with some great photos of my old PAS/RMAS vessels. I really MUST go through all of my old negatives and see what I can find. ( Only about 15 boxes!)
Many thanks, I will return!
