Benbeg

[roymuir]

I was wondering if anyone has a picture of the Company launch in Hong Kong.
I did a drydock there in Benstac and she was a regular visitor every morning. No doubt dropping the Old Man back aboard after an All-nighter.
I understand that Benbeg means little Ben. Very aptly named.

Regards, Roy.

Hi Roy,
I think the launch in Hong Kong was the Benbhui.

Roy,
Checked it out it was not the Benbeg but Benbhui. Sorry no photos

Thanks for the correction EBenarty. You are spot on. She was named Benbhui.
She was a great looking launch so someone must have taken a picture of her somewhere along the way.

Regards, Roy.

If my memory serves me well Ben Line did have a launch in Singapore in the 1970's called the Benveg which indeed means the wee Ben !!
