Chaps, it would help if suggestions & queries for the galleries could be placed there directly as the Album numbers being quoted change every time a new pic is added.
Thanks.

OK Dave, mistakes happen, even on the best regulated websites. It has now been corrected. The other one was Henry L'Estrange.

In the "Deck" section of the picture gallery I would question picture 7/201. It gives Joe Dines as the subject. He I believe is picture 3/201. It was in 1963 and 1966 when I sailed with him on Tidepool and Resource and although time plays tricks with ones memory I'm sure I am correct.

For Rab Thompson:

Yes Rab. my discharge book says I left mid october '68; relieved by Gerry Williams if I remember correctly.

A book by Richard Woodman (him of the Nathaniel Drinkwater sseries) called 'Blue Funnel Voyage East' captures those days very well, he even mentions the stall holder in Bugis street (him with the bottle bottom glasses!) that we use to sometimes frequent....!
Happy times and good memories!

regards to all

Mr Tan it was at the RNOC Terror.. He had a brother who had a barber's business in Nee Soon. I joined Pearleaf Sep 68 to relieve the late Gwyn. You were there then, Dick, as Second Eng if I remember.

Indeed Dick, but wasn't it Mr Tan who presided over the bar at Terror, not Mr Wong?
