ship in Mombasa mid '66. Other members of the ME Department were
the Chief Tiff Norman Wright, ERA's Charley Thistleton, Ben Williams,
Bill Shirtliffe, Mech Fred West ? Jones, POMEs Frank Malone DSM, Frank
Johnson, Mac McGillvary, Tommo Thompson, Ginger Scott, Dusty Millar.
There were of course others but after 40 odd years my memory is a little

It's good to have this site, really no more than the old girl deserves,
she was special.
