David Campbell R.O.

[Fa's that?]

Does anyone remember my brother, David Campbell who sailed with Crusader line ( late 60's early 70's ) as an R.O. He was on the SARACEN and the CRUSADER and loved it. On one home leave two of his ship mates met up with him at home, that was some week. If I remember right one was the ships lecky, ALEC from Glasgow and the other was 'Neddy' the 4th Eng. from New Zealand. It would be great for him to hear from anybody who knew him.

Geoff, or Jeff, Brown (Neddy) lived in Panmure, Auckland, and I last saw Alex MacGlocklan (The spelling's bound to be wrong) in Wellington a few years back--he was working for the Harbour Board

Thanks Spikesdad, I will pass that on to my brother.

I joined the Saracen 6th May 1970 in Oslo as 3rd Mate, and left her as the Langstone in Melbourne 16th March 1971. Worked my passage home via the Britannic and the Northern Star.
For the life of me can't honestly remember who the Sparky was, but if it was David say hi - thanks

Hi Malcolm,

Thankyou for your response about my brother. I have spoken to David today and he tells me that he paid off in Rotterdam on 29th April 1970 and would have missed you. A few of the names he remembers are ; Bob Sand 2nd mate,-- Steve Border 3rd mate, --ch/eng Norman ????? ,--3rd eng Hoss ????? ,--fridge eng. Newton ????? , --Charlie Mc Intosh, --cadets Geoff Noonan, Tony ?????

You may have relieved Steve Border. Hope this sparks some old memories.
David has bought a new laptop so he should be active on the the web soon.

Thanks again

Hello again Malcolm,
Bob Sands I knew, but not from the Saracen. I was with Captains Mike Clark and John Street. Chief Mate O'Driscol and Adrian Cope. 2nd Mate Don Williams - an Aussie from Brisbane. I forget who the Chief Engineer was but I do recall he hated Mates of any description.
I joined with a few new engineers including a new Freezer Engineer.

Hi Malcolm

Thanks again for the response. I will pass on the details to Dave. He has just bought another laptop and is still getting to grips with it. I also sailed with a ch/eng. who did not like mates -- or us his engineers!! He was a right old moan. Take care.
