Anyone out there remember Ben Harley, real name is Raymond Harley but always known as Ben.

He has retired now and has still got all his wits about him. I agreed to make a post on this sight and see if anyone remembers him. I think he sailed with Texeco for many years mainly as 2nd Steward. Interested to hear from anyone.

Ben will be made up when i pass this on Mervyn. I see him regularly, he's 69 now and he's a good mate. He finished his career as a Laundryman in the RFA. The other chap further back in the thread known as "Tube" passed away a few years back. His wife posted it on this site.
