Ixion, getting bunkers at Aden, Jan 67

Ixion, getting bunkers at Aden, Jan 67

My first foreign port, and a pretty nervy place.
School bus blown up the morning we left.
Squaddies looked after us well though on our brief run ashore.

My very first trip on H.T. was acros the Irish sea to Belfast on Ixion July 1963 and had to work in a hold installing ionisers afer her cargo of apples had been discharged in Liverpool. Most impressed when I had my first view of a working engineroom turbine set and lit boilers!
