Good day people,
I have also just joined.
I began it all in Riversdale College, Liverpool 1973-1976 where I qualified as an R/O.
After that it was MIMCO for a while with Anchor Line, Ben Line, T&J Harrisson, Bank Line. Then United Arab, and some more foreign flag work with Italian ships, Dutch ships and god knows what!!!
Left in 1984 to do engineering studies and did a brief stint in 1986 for money!
Since 1988 been here in South Africa. Worked on the mines for a while and then did many years as an R&D engineer (defence and commercial), then R&D Manager. Funnily enough, I was responsible for the lab doing South Africa's AIS transponder. I now direct a company that supplies hi-tech to the mining industry.
Had a lot of fun!!!
