Thanks for sharing Ray. Brought back many happy memories, apart from running into FOS and getting our arses kicked with the Mistrals, it was a good life for me. Was lucky to see a lot of those real ships still running in 70-80s. Also managed to do a bit of everything, coasting, RFA, UBC, Denholms, Jebsens and CP Ships. The wife enjoyed Norfolk in the 69/70s. Went ashore once too often there and ended up 😂living there going on 37 years. Did 70-84 as an RO/REO and then 33 years as a shore tech in Norfolk. Hope you are getting the treatment you need. Thanks for the memories.
Would like to watch, but i live in a place with very poor signal, so I have to download for watching later. But your video is not allowed for free download, needs paid subscription to CZcams.
Sorry about that Richard, I'm still finding my way around it all at the moment so I cannot help with that. If you were able to download it you would be able to watch it live.
@@RayPurdyThanks for that, I will try to watch live when I have a good connection. Looks interesting. Rgds, Richard (Blue Flue 1970-82, Indo China Steam Nav 1983-97)
